So this past week has been a rough one for Nelson. He stopped eating by himself and then started refusing the baby food I offered him. A few days later he began refusing to drink water that I dropped on his nose. After trying everything and not being able to get ahold of a vet he has taken a turn for the worse. I wokeup to him barely breathing and when I got home from work I noticed he won't even open his eyes. I have done everything I could to help him get better over the past week or two so I'm not sure what went wrong. At this point all I can do is love on him and make him as comfortable as possible...

Poor Nelson =(. Such a little guy still. I've been rooting for him. You weren't able to get in touch with any of the vets in the area? If you can't get him to the vet I suppose the best thing to do now is hold him and keep him warm and let him know he isn't alone.

I wasn't able to get ahold of any vet. I called multiple times and they never answered, and I also emailed them and got no response.

Poor little guy just passed away in my hand :/ it's the circle of life i guess, I tried my best.

Oh man, I'm so sorry. You did the best you could for the poor little guy. I'm glad he had a happy home. My boys Coop and Dundee will take good care of him now. I like this photo to remember Nelson by

Ahh he was adorable. I'm gonna miss the little guy.
Next time I'll do more research on finding a trust worthy seller, because I truly feel that was the issue.

Hello,

I am sorry to hear you lost your little one, that is horrible. :cry: I know how devastating it is to lose one. At least Nelson was not alone though, he had comfort.

I am so sorry to hear this. :-( I haven't been on in a while, what happen?

It started off with a front leg injury, then he started dragging his back leg. He was acting normal for awhile until he started to lose his appetite and I began having to hand feed him, and then he just refused water and food in general. A few days after that I wokeup and he was barely moving and his color was dark, and he passed away in my hand when I got home from work :/ poor little guy. I feel like he was sick from the beginning, he was super small when I got him, never a good eater. II was told he was 3 months old but he was only 6" and weighed 8grams...which now I'm finding out is not even close to what a 3 month old should be

Aww, poor nelson. I'm sorry for your loss, I know you loved and cared for him :-(

I appreciate it, he was a great little guy.
I wokeup the next day starring at his empty tank and got sad, so I ended up ordering a leather back German giant male who will be here tomorrow. I refuse to get too depressed and give up on this bearded dragon life

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
