I have an almost 5 year old male dragon, we had a big power outage a bit over a week ago, our house lost power for 7 nights. During that time, I had him out with me as much as I could, to use me for warmth and comfort, and I was refilling a hot water bottle ever few hours that I would place on his basking spot with him on top of it (with a towel around it, as not to be too hot). I was super worried about him during that week, I wasn't feeding him because I was worried about how he would digest it without his lights and heat.
When the power came back on I ran his lights/heat for a full 24hours before putting it back to its regular timer. It has been about 10 days now, and he is barley eating, like absolutely nothing. He hasn't touched his greens at all, and has had maybe 5 crickets and a worm, but he didn't have an ounce of the enthusiasm for hunting that he usually does. I read that they will stop eating after a stressor like this, but he hasn't gone back to normal.
Now he is completely lethargic, he barley moves, he gave up half way on his basking spot, and he is SO SKINNY, I can see his tail bone, and his back legs have no fat or anything, he's never been a plump dragon, but he looks sick. I'm trying to take him out, he likes being with me but he's not even remotely adventurous or snuggly like he usually is.
I really don't know what to do at this point, I feel like he's dying and I don't know if there is something I should have done more when we didn't have power, or if there is something I can do now. I'm planning to take him to the vet asap but I'm scared its already to late. I just need to get him eating again at least. Does anyone have ANY ideas of ways I can help him.
His habitat has not changed at all and the temps are back to what he's used to, he pooed once during the power outage , and once since.
