Recovery from impaction & refuses to eat: normal?

[Ginnysghost]

Spyro is home from an overnight stay at the vet to clear impaction. He almost didn't make it. Since we left the vet yesterday afternoon, he's done nothing but sleep. The vet said give warm baths 2-3 times a day, and try to feed baby food via syringe or misting/ drops of water on his nose and call Monday if no changes.
He wont eat more than a couple likes of the food, and the water drops. its like he's eating in his sleep, keeps his eyes closed. Should I be worried?

An impaction is hard on them. And what the vet has to do to help them out is also very hard on them. I am no expert, but this is what I would do if he were mine. I would give him baths in pedialite (clear), and let him rest as much as possible. The vet might decide to give him a vit B shot, that seems to be my vets standard answer, but hopefully your vet has a little more expierence than mine. (lol) How long has he been back home from the vet? How long was he impacted? What was the impaction from? How old is your dragon?

I think I read in another post that her beardie passed away

He did. He just didn't have energy left, and wouldn't eat. I take comfort in the fact that he isn't in pain anymore. Thank you for your advice. We are considering another; when we are ready.
