Hello!
It's been a long time since I've posted here, and I'm here now to request some help for a bearded dragon that belongs to someone close to me. They have a young silkback who was shedding, and on a vet visit the vet decided to peel all the shed skin off. When they got her back it looked like there was oil applied to her skin but it felt tacky, and now they believe that unprepared skin was taken off before it was ready to. Now the beardie appears to be unable to get comfortable and keeps moving, picking herself off the ground like it hurts her stomach and has an instantly decreased appetite. Alarmingly, she also suddenly and without warning showed signs of severe dehydration.
What can be done to help ease her pain and keep the situation from getting worse? Any suggestions? I've asked for a picture and will post one when I get it.
