Hello,

That is great he is under his light now.
You can try feeding him with a plastic dropper or plastic syringe if he isn't eating enough. You can just drip it onto the end of his nose until he starts licking the food off. That way you don't have to force the mouth open any to stress him.
Let us know how he is doing.

Yea thats exactly what i do, he stays on top of the rock or in the water most of the time. But still no poop.

Hello,

How is he doing now, did he get enough food into him today?
Has he had any twitching in his back legs since his injury?
Please let us know how he is progressing. Are you going to get him into the vets?

I seen him eat a little, i saw him twitch his back legs a little also. Im going to take him next week for sure.

 

[yellababii07]

He finally pooped, but he is still not walking on his back legs. Which means he hurt his spine, i will most deff take him to the vet.

Hello,

I am glad that he finally went to the bathroom then.
Sometimes with impactions, it can take a little bit of time for them to fully regain back leg function if it was severe enough. However, since he has had a fall I think a vet visit would be a good idea.
Is he eating anything right now?

Im still giving him the applesauce, squash and oil mix, but i put crickets in this morning to see if he will eat them, lets hope he do.

 

[Drache613]

Hello,

Did he eat anything today?
Have you noticed any swelling of any type on his back, etc since his fall?
Is there any twitches that occur on his back legs that you have noticed?

Keep us posted on him. I hope you can get him into the vets soon.

Hello,

How is your dragon doing today? Have you been able to get him to the vets yet since he is still having some trouble with his legs.
Is he eating small crickets right now?

Let us know how he is doing.
