Thanks everyone! I'll be honest and say that y'all have all given me more hope than the vet, but I guess it's their job to paint the darkest picture possible.
I picked him up and they said he had been resting quietly and would only have seizures when stimulated. She said they couldn't really give him anymore calcium because his body needed to process what they did give him. They instructed me to bring him home and leave him in a nice quiet warm place tonight. I should peek in on him frequently but I am not to offer food or attempt to handle him in any way. When I got him into his tank, he stiffened up in my hand and when I placed him on the paper towels, he threw his head back with his mouth open. I dripped a few drops of water onto his nose and he drank that. I took out his perches because I didn't want him falling, but that leaves him further from his UV light. I also put two extra lights for warmth in there but will shoot the temp gun in there frequently before I turn in (we stay up pretty late around here).
As far as his behavior, overall he seems more alert than this morning. His color is much better. He is moving about the tank, but he does seem to drag his back legs. One of the things the vet tech said was that there might be brain damage from the seizures. How would one know if a bearded dragon has brain damage? I guess I'm going to be a nervous wreck for my three days off.
She also said she had an opportunity to give him a short exam without him seizing and she doesn't feel as though he is impacted because his belly was nice and soft. I still keep thinking about the mealworms last night and the fact that he didn't poop today. There is so much conflicting information. If it's impaction, I should be
bathing him and giving him some easy stuff to digest. If it's calcium deficiency, I should not touch him and leave him under his lights all night. Well...what if I go in one direction and the problem is the opposite one? This is so difficult.
BTW, I just peeked at him and he has a normal posture, including his back legs. Perhaps this is a good sign...I'll keep everyone posted.
