Good morning
My beardie Java just got back from urgent care after spending a night in the ER. He threw up a bunch of black sludge after a bath on Sunday so we took him in. He's become increasingly listless and pale, and his fat pads are sinking. He's not interested in food or water, and his left front leg appears to be useless at this point. Java was given several antibiotics and something for stomach bugs and given a swab of his vent to check for parasites.
I don't know what to do with the little guy. I can't stand to see him hurting and weak, but at the same time I don't know how to help, and I don't think my wife and I have the strength to euthanize him after losing our female beardie two months ago. I just need some advice on what to do...am I selfish for hoping Java makes a decision on his own when we are at work today? Is it bad I don't want to take him in to urgent care where he will be alone in a back room somewhere, possibly to die alone?
