I really need help. On friday april 5th i came home to feed my 4 week old baby bearded dragon (he hatched with 3 other babys, he was also born with a birth defect!) anyways i came back home to feed him again and i found him on the bottom of the terrarium with blood in his mouth, the right side of his head looks caved in (he cant open that eye), his other eye is bulging out and he opened it every once in a while, and the holds his head to the left.

Luckily he's still alive and i've been syringe feeding him baby food (squash&chicken) he only takes a bit in cause he wont open his mouth wide enough to get it into his mouth and he wont lick anything off his nose (i've tried). He only walks when he goes to the washroom, any other time he tends to fall over to the left side (same side he leans his head) im trying my best to save him but idk

He just went to the washroom. All that came out was a little white liquid and alot of clear liquid.. Is this because he's not eating a lot only drinking?

I called the vet and they said since he's so young they probably cant help him.. Is there any chance of him living and is there anything else i can feed him so he can actually eat it?! If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated !!! I'll add pictures if i can

I'm so sorry to hear that! Do you have all of those babies housed together? If so, unfortunately what has happened is he was brutally attacked by one of the others. They are solitary animals, and should be each kept in a separate enclosure.

Yeah there were only 4 in a cage and they were all born within a few hours of eachother. I hope he makes it <3

You need to separate all of them. Beardies should be ALONE in a cage. Especially the injured one; he needs his own set up ASAP. It doesn't sound too good though :/

Oh ok. Just making absolutely sure. I'm really not sure what you can do, if the vet won't see him :(. Hopefully someone else will have an idea.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
