[QUOTE="pogonavitticeps, post: 2023727, member: 80466"] Hello! I am at my wits end on getting advice for how to care for my beardie after last night. I've called every vet in town and no one is available to help. He ate two horn worms that are way too big 2 days ago, I was looking for him to pass it. He didn't but was pooping everything else he had been eating. Yesterday afternoon after I came home from work, I gave him a bath to see if he would pass them and he didn't. His stomach was painful (didn't like me touching him) and seemed off. I decided to get hime to the emergency vet clinic after his eyes started to look slightly sunken and stomach bloated. He got worse and worse, having a black beard and very light after we arrived at the clinic. Shortly after arriving he threw up the undigested worms. After he seemed better, still a black beard but rest of him a normal colour. I decided to leave the clinic after he calmed down beacuse they didn't have a specialist for reptiles and the wait was 3 hours to see a vet. The trip really stressed him out so I made the call to let him rest at home. He was asleep in his box when we arrived home around 9 PM (his bedtime) so I put him to bed hoping sleep will help. He is awake this morning but his stomach still seems painful and his eyes are very sunken. His fat pads are very low now after the ordeal and he is refusing to drink water that I offer. But he is alert and basking, has a grey beard and is very low energy. What are the next steps? When should I force water? Does anyone have any experience with caring for a beardie after throwing up? I am very worried about his sunken eyes and dehydration. Tank temps are 102 F on hot side, 75 F on cool. Has a Arcadia T5 Desert 12% tube that is less than 6 months old [/QUOTE]
