Hello,

Oh dear, that is not great at all! Talk about stressing
you out. How is Toothless doing today? Is his surgery this weekend then?
I hope he pulls through quickly, without any complications. We are all pulling for him.

No, no surgery. They do not think he will make it through the night, they didn't think he'd make it long enough for us to get down there. He looked just like he did on Thursday last week and they said his body is shutting down, that his heart disease was so much worse than they expected. He must have had it for a long time and it just wrecked havoc on his body. So, as he's laying lifeless in icu, hanging on by a thread, we're in a hotel staring at our phones in wait for if the vet calls. They switched him to a dnr because they don't think they'll get him back if he codes, so if they call tonight, it's because he passed.

Hello,

Yeah, sorry! My computer I guess hadn't updated
the thread so I did edit but I guess you had already seen it.
Wow, that does seem kind of fast. I didn't realize his system was that far gone & that his heart was
so damaged. I am so sorry, it isn't a good situation at all & is heart breaking.
My heart goes out to you.

If he is still hanging on, he is still fighting. I'll continue to send prayers 🫂

Sorry i didnt give a better explination, i was so distraught and had a panic attack in the icu and had taken an entire 2mg xanax so i was out if it, to say the least.

They said his heart disease was pretty extensive, that hes must have had it for a good while, but never showed any symptoms. He did make it through the night and didn't look as bad as the vet made it seem. He didn't look any worse than he did a week ago and the vet originally said he wouldn't make it long enough for us to get there and we should consider putting him down. But I refuse to be the one to make that call. We got here and he looked like last Thursday and when i pet him, I leaned over to kiss him and talk to him, told him it was okay, if he was hurting, then it was okay for him to go and then he sorta pulled himself forward (Like the low belly crawling thing they do sometimes) lifted his head kinda high up, and opened his eyes kinda wide for a second but it may have just been part of the passing process.

He pulled through the night and we got here this morning and he isn't any different. He's doing these occasional gasping (no actual sound thank god) things, which is also very hard. The vet said he isn't in any excruciating pain and that they have a tendency to linger for a long time but hes very unlikely to make any kind of turn around and putting him to sleep is the kind choice now. So, that's probably what we will do and have him cremated.


**update** we made that choice. It was hard, but he had zero quality of life and it was like he was in a coma. She gave us a paw print and we are having him cremated and I'm getting a nice shadowbox for his harness, the urn, and his favorite pillow and a photo. Something inside me died with him today. I was wanting a new tattoo for my birthday on Tuesday and I was gonna get something from the video game the last of us, but im going to get something for Toothless. Paw prints or something. For my boy, the bestest boy.

I am so sorry to hear this. I'm teared up right with you. Deep down I thought he might some how pull through. I've lost beardies so I know how bad it is, my heart is truely breaking for you guys. I wish there were words to make it all better, but I know there isn't. I wish I was there so I could give you guys a hug and a shoulder 😢 😔
R.I.P Toothless 😪😪

Hello,

I thought about you & Toothless all day. I really thought he would pull through & be able to go home
with you. I am so sorry, I know it really tears up your soul when you lose a precious dragon. He knew
just how much you loved him.
I am truly sorry for your loss. :cry:

Please accept my condolences. I, like everyone here, was very worried about Toothless. My heart is breaking. But you made the right decision. May Toothless rest in peace. He will be remembered by your family and each of us. 😔

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
