Sorry for your loss. This doesn't sound like it was your fault, so I would contact the friend who gave him to you and make sure they are taking good care of any other lizards they may own. If needed, give them a link to BD.org so this won't happen again.

i left him on the hot rice sock thing overnight just in case (i read some where on here that sometimes they come back to life if you keep them warm) but this morning when i got home from work he was in full rigor and he had yellow goo coming out of his mouth. i guess he did have that yellow fungus. i really do love beardies though so i think im going to try and convince the husband we need yet another addition to the family.(dont worry i will triple disinfect everything that might be recycled) after everything i learned here in the last few days i think we can handle it. thanks again for all the support and helpful knowledge. you guys are the best. :cry:

Poor little guy. I don't think that you could have done anything more than you did. He died soo fast that he was probably at the end. I know it hurts, I hurt every time I read about a beardie dying. I remember the ones we lost. I agree with you, either throw away what you can and the stuff you want to keep sterilize it. I remember reading you had carpet, I don't know how to sterilize the carpet, but I would suggest just replacing the carpet when you get a new little one. It will help you hurt less, at least it did for us.

Oh no :( I am so sorry to hear the little one passed.Unfortunately I think the fungus was too far gone and had seriously affected hs vital organs so I dont think there was anything you could do but I would personally like to thank you for trying and for at least giving him a few days with the care he deserved to be recieving his whole life.

Hello,

Oh I am sorry to hear that he passed away. :cry: You did everything you could do, as he was very ill when you got him, unfortunately.
So you are going to get another one then?

Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
I'm still looking to adopt. I live near Homerville Georgia.
