[QUOTE="Lowennas, post: 2023752, member: 117948"] So I work in veterinary, and we had a bearded dragon handed into us that was 'found' in someone's garden.. I have many bearded dragons myself and lots of reptile experience but never have I nursed an extremely poorly bearded dragon before. He has seen a vet, who thinks he's very underweight and cold. So I took him home to a spare viv with a basking bulb and UV light and set it up ready for him. I try keep him under the heat but he drags his limp body away every time. I've been giving him fluid injections and oral fluids too as per advised by the vet. It's been 3 days now and there has been no improvement, he still hides away from the heat and is not interested in food at all. He barely keeps his eyes open for longer than a few seconds. He's since gone back to the vets and told me to start syringing critical care formula into him, which he dislikes and has bitten me.. Has anyone any experience with nursing them? What things can occur in a bearded dragon that's been in the wild for unknown amount of time? What health implications occur from that? He looks extremely skinny.. and I can see his shoulder blades also. I have attached some photos to see his current condition. :( p.s. hes named Colin. [/QUOTE]
