My Beardy had a bad night..

Hey, uh I sorta had a question on what to do. Late one night I was giving him a bath cuz he decided to wander through his mess in his cage.. and I left him unattended while the water was filling up for a minute. I figured since he was drinking and all, he was alright.. but I came back and he was freaking out. I had no idea why untill I realized that I turned on the hot water knob rather than the regular cold >< I.. have no idea what to do. He doesnt look burned but drinking hot water CANT be good for him.. Is that the equivilant of a human burning their tongue with hot coffee or worse? Not to pile on but he also may have ate soap suds that where in the sink as well. :shock:

Hello,

Oh, poor guy. How much hot water got into his bath water?
Did he look overheated also? So he isn't looking burned on his skin? If he drank too hot of water, it could have burned his tongue possibly.
How is he looking now, does he have a black beard?
A little bit of soap shouldn't hurt but what type was it, ivory, dial, etc?

Let us know how he is doing.

Currently- he is asleep. But he was sort of "panting' after he drank the hot water. Sadly I had not filled up the sink. He was sitting in there and I left the water running so he could drink out of the little puddle of flowing water. He does that all the time. So he wasnt soaking in the hot water. The soap is dial hand soap.
