She probably got a little down the wrong way. Keep an eye out for black bearding, coughing, wheezing, snot or mucus. If none of those she should be ok.

Hello,

Definitely no need to apologize, we all know how it feels to worry about our dragon.
She may have gotten something down the wrong way. Are you dropping the fluids onto the end of her nose so she licks the fluids off that way? That is usually the easier way to do things to help avoid aspiration.
If you don't see any discharge or mucous from her mouth or nose then she should be fine. Keep her a little warmer overnight right now to help boost her system while she isn't feeling well.

Hi,

I did the drip thing on the nose but she was only having like 3 or 4 drips and then getting annoyed so I have had to get a thin syringe and open her mouth gently and get it in her throat to administer the critical care. The probotics she licks off the end of her nose because she likes it. Should I stop giving her the critical care the way I'm doing it? I only do it that way because she isn't intrested in it and won't be getting the necessary amount.

Thank you

You might could mix a little of the critical care into the probiotic and get it into her that way. Sometimes we get creative with these lil guys lol. When I was giving Chomp meds, I'd take her out on the sun and wait for her to gape, and try to get it in before she closed her mouth. (Worked about 50/50 )

I got shown to put a finger on top of the head and with my thumb slowly pull down on the bottom of the bearded, I have been doing that she doesn't black beard at all and doesn't make a fuss so continued to do it.

So today she has had 1ml of critical care in the morning mixed with liquid electrolytes which contains calcium and d3 and vitamins. This evening again I gave her another 1 ml of the mixed critical care and then 0.5ml of soya probotic yoghurt. She drank it all from dripping on her nose. Can I give her this everyday or is it every other day at the minute?

Thanks again for all your help

Critical care you can give daily, the electrolyte I wouldn't. The critical care is mixed with water, so it should keep her hydrated.

Hi,

Ok I'll give her the critical care and the electrolytes every other day. Thank you

She is on the second day of the critical care and already seems a little bit happier. Gonna keep giving it to her with the probotics and electrolytes every other day and offer her live and greens each day until she finally decides to eat solids.

Thank you

Hello,

That's great to hear she seems to be feeling better & is taking the critical care well.
The extra nutrition & hydration should really help her out. I hope she starts to eat solid foods soon.
We are hoping for a full recovery!

One more question sorry, so she is having about 2ml of the Critical care a day and electrolytes every other day will the whey protein and soya yogurt contain enough calcium while she isn't eating. Just wouldn't want to be not giving her enough calcium, she is eating about a good 0.5ml of probotic yogurt a day. Been over 2 weeks since eating anything really solid. Would you recommend a vet visit or just keep doing what im doing. Thank you
