Hi
I have a beardie with liver disease and needs 5ml of fluids with critical care a day but im failing badly.
Hes a very strong dragon you wouldnt think he was ill it was fluke that i noticed heavy breathing and it turned out he had fatty liver disease from all the anti biotics hes had
Anyway how can i get the 5ml fluids into him everyday he point blank refuses to lap it and this is a far bigger amount than 0.2 of baytril where you can pull his beard down for a second
My vet told me to put him on his back and he will freeze and open his mouth but he doesnt so i forced it open on his back but myself and girlfriend failed terribly in getting the fluids in.
5 ml is alot and we are trying our best but need help its stressing poor dragon out and putting strain on us. If we continue to fail its only fair for dragons sake that hes put to sleep rather than die of stress
Thanks
