Hasn't moved in 2 hours, head down!

[BertieTheBeardie]

Hi
The temps are right and she's eaten but when I came home from school she was just led still with her head down and I sat next to her cage and talked to her an stroked her and she lifted her head up and opened her eyes and then shut them and still hasn't moved for 2 hr and I've noticed her bellys a bit bigger then normal but not massively swollen, very worried i don't know if she was like this while I was at school? She was very active before I left so I don't know what could have happened and I don't want to move her just incase there is a problem, here's a picture

Update: My sisters been home and I've asked her if shes been led down for long and she said she was led down when it was 2pm and it's now 7:15pm so I'm really worried (she did turn around apparently)

Poor girl, did she seem to want to lay eggs ?

 

[BertieTheBeardie]

shes in the lay box now, she just wanted to come out again she's now on her log hope she'll be more active

 

[Terry15]

I do hope that someone can answer your questions soon. Can you get her out in the sunshine ? Not in a glass tank. They seem better when they get some real sun.

 

[Terry15]

Maybe just in her lay box, in the sun. Give her some water from an eye dropper.

I'm in Maryland, sounds like you're in the UK.

It's quite cold now so I'll try tomorrow when it's hot, i feel like she should go for a check up at the vets just as a regular appointment but I don't know how much It'll cost and she may not even need to go I'm just very worried. Yeah I am, I will give her water through a animal syringe now

 

[Terry15]

Maybe the vet might be the best thing, they can X-ray her I think to see if she has eggs. I believe she needs food & calcium if she is going to lay eggs.

 

[BertieTheBeardie]

I've been giving her extra calcium etg as suggested. I've just asked my mum about arranging a vets appointment and she said to see how she is in a bit. She just make a massive jump but yet again is led down. I really hope that it's nothing too serious

 

[Terry15]

I feel for you & your dragon. It's hard when you don't know what's wrong. I've been taking care of my nieces dragon Mystic for over a year now. I hope and pray yours & Mystic is in good health.

Mystic is gorgeous! Bert looks slightly more alert but not behaving as she normally does, she licked a few drops from the syringe but nothing more. I think if she's not OK by tomorrow I'll take her to the vets

 

[Terry15]

Bert looks cute too. I hope you can get her to the vet. If you just want to talk, you can PRivate message me until someone can help you with your questions, it's only 3:00 pm here.

 

[BertieTheBeardie]

Thank you for all your help! My vets are quite good and you can email them for their opinion in whether they think it's serious so I may email them. I will private message you if I have more questions, thank you for all your help!

 

[Terry15]

Have a good night, and post updates of Bert, or Bertie. I hope she will be OK.

I'm sorry to hear she isn't feeling well. The sudden lethargic behavior would concern me as well. It's hard to say what's wrong but Terry's guess about egg issues sounds like a reasonable one to me. I think a vet checkup is a good idea, especially if your vets are experienced and helpful as you said. Better to have her checked out sooner rather than later to treat any issues or at least to rule out problems and help put your mind at ease.
