Help Please I think my dragon may be paralyzed

[Iluvmydragon]

This afternoon my kids place the dragon in a plastic container that holes cut in the top so that the dragon could get air. They left the dragon outside and came in and by the time I went outside and discovered the dragon, his mouth was wide open as if he was gasping for air. They left him out their in the scorching heat for about 30 minutes, and I removed him poured water over his body and in his mouth and then soaked him in room temp water to try and cool him down. He is moving his front legs but not his back. All vets in my area now are closed please help. If there is anything I can do right now to help him I will.

Hello Jeremy,

Well, you definitely need to get him rehydrated immediately. Can you give him a tepid bath to try & cool him down a bit?
Do you have pedialyte to mix with water?
Maybe tomorrow, try to keep him a little cooler, say a few degrees just so he doesn't get more dehydrated. Chances are he has suffered a heat injury, so it will most likely take a few days for him to regain his hydration status.
Keep us posted on him.
