My baby beardie is about to die please help!

[AHBD]

An emergency vet would not really be able to do anything more than what Dylan can do which is to try to get a tiny bit of nutrition in him a little at a time.

I did not like seeing those pictures. Half the fun of baby bearded dragons is stuffing them full of food and watching them grow right before your eyes. Jon Snow has grown 3.5 inches in the last 3 weeks

about 12 inches total

He fought hard. I tired to help. I'm an *****. I should have known. Why?

His lamp is off and it's like the part of me that he made happy was just turned off as well.

t's not your fault Dylan, he was very small + when they get sick at that size they go downhill quickly. It's happened to many people on these forums.

Is the little guy still alive or do you mean that he passed ?

He passed. And it is my fault. I could have done better. It's hard to believe that an innocent creature died because of me, the only person who should have taken care of him. I put him on his rock and went to my grandma's house and my sister walked in my room to see him and apparently he fell back into his water and drowned.

That being said, I am so sorry you lost your little guy. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I just hope that if you get another animal, you go about it the right way.

Yours Truly, the dragons can go quickly at that size, no need for your judgement on this person.

I'm so sorry....it's really not your fault, he was sickly when you got him and he went downhill. He was too far gone to survive whether he drowned or not, he really was. That would have been quick in his condition. Don't be hard on yourself, you wanted him to live , he was just too sick. Take care of yourself and don't put yourself down.

You don't know if he bought the dragon that thin. He even said he was feeding it pellets. I'm not calling him a bad person or judging him on his character. I'm simply saying that he went about it completely wrong. He even acknowledged it himself.

He went with pet store advice which many people do , many of them join + post here even thinking their set ups are fine only to find out that it was wrong. And it's common for people to blame themselves when something go wrong, especially when they're grieving.

You can't force a sick animal to eat. A baby dragon that is sick is much, much more difficult to save than a larger juvenile or adult. Most vets wouldn't have any success with a tiny sick dragon either.

Taking care of these little guys is not cheap.
