A 3yr old male Bearded Dragon was rendered to me on July 4th. Claiming that the kids don't pay it attention and she's too busy. I get there to discover he's 17in long & weights 217grams. She told me that his mate had died and apparently she didn't bother to check why she hadn't moved in 3-4 days and now black and bloated. He is Seriously Dehydrated Extremely Malnutritioned Desprately Mineral Deficient and Desprately Depressed. I began Calcium Electrolyte soaks and got him to eat a couple roaches and a few worms. No water other than soak and no greens or fruits. Day 2 he seemed to be a little more alive and responsive. Day 3 pooped blood and almost lifeless. I rushed him to urgent care center. They confirmed everything I suspected and that he most likely has a bacterial infection or parasites in his GI track. Started antibiotics and syringe water mix with Electrolytes multivitamin and Panga.
