my bearded dragon ate a bb bullet

[lozzie2k8]

i have two bearded dragons about 8 month. 1 male 1 female. my female swallowed a plastic b bullet about 4days ago.she has eaten every day apart from today.(she usually has massive apetite). her belly has swallowen up and she hasnt been to the toilet. will it clog her up or wil it pass through her.

How big was the bullet? Try giving her some dilute apple juice with a couple of drops of mineral or olive oil in - this should act as a natural laxitive. You could also try giving her a nice warm (not hot) bath to try and encourage her to poop. If the bullet is small, I doubt it will get stuck as they can do humongous poops (if they're anything like my dragon )

I had a similar problem but mine wasnt the bb bullet mine was cheese....mom tried to help feed her and didnt know they cant eat cheese :shock: but she pulled through 2 days later i thought she was really bad sick but it was just impaction.... I would try giving your beardie a nice bath make sure the water is warm to your wrist (like baby water) Let her run around a little if she still doesnt poop then gently rub your to fingers on her belly from her head to her tail, it may take a while maybe 20 mins (at the most) if that doesnt work give it another day and if there are no results take her to a vet.
