Hello,
My beardie is 7 years old. Yesterday he quickly became very weak and I actually thought he was dead. He has a prolapse. It seems to be minor. He pooped two days ago and it looks normal. His prolapse is just a sleight curl of tender red skin. The warm sugar
bath seemed to calm it and it is no longer visible. But he of course is still acting sick. I gave him two drops of veg oil and he is soaking in his very warm tank. I have researched the vet option. Is surgery REALLY the only thing that can save him? I dont have $1000. But I want to save him. He has always been healthy and playful...not sure what exactly happend. What are ALL my options before I make the trip to the vet? Can beardies live through this?
So far I have not let him eat anything, gave him a warm
bath and massage in sugar water, applied vasaline to his bottom with gauze, cranked the heat up in his cage, gave him drops of veg oil.
Any other suggestions????
Should I feed him baby food? Or just wait until his next poop?
Also, should I get a pet laxative for him?
thanks for any help.
