Male beardie of unknown age. We found her lying limp on the floor of her enclosure with liquid vomit around her. She's been having a hard time lately, she just recovered from an infection. She had a meal of critical care herbivore mush today and threw some of it up earlier, but was behaving normally and was very active, even after her bath. However, when we found her tonight she's limp with a black beard and won't respond. We're warming her up now but is it too late?

What is the temps in the cage, does she appear to be dehydrated, and before the mush what were they eating?

Hello,

That is always a terrible sight to have to see, I am so sorry.
Is she still the same this evening?
If she isn't breathing & you aren't seeing any movement, etc then she is most likely gone.

Let us know what has happened & if she is still with you or not.

Thank you all for your concern and help :( unfortunately this morning Oatmeal is quite stiff and very obviously dead.

Oatmeal was actually my partner's and he's feeling her loss, if there's any tips you have for giving Oatmeal a nice send off and helping ease the pain that would be great.

He loved her so much and took very good care of her after somebody abandoned her on a driveway several years ago. We think she may have been older than we thought or had an underlying health problem.

I am so sorry and you found him in a driveway? --- terrible thing but I am so glad you rescued him -- at least he had caring people that took him in and gave him love -- again I am sorry --- they do become attached to our hearts -- ❤️

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
