Yes when i said give pedialyte and/or chicken baby food mixed with water I meant to force it. I would go out buy a 5 cc syringe (no needle, pharmacies usually carry these). Fill the syringe with the desired substance (i say 3 cc of baby food mixed with pedialyte). Then hold the dragon with you left hand under its belly. pull the dragon to your chest, your middle finger holding down the beardies front legs and rng finger and pinky supporting the rest of the dragons underside and the dragons back against your chest. now holding the filled syringe in your right hand use your forefinger and thumb of your left hand to open the dragons mouth, to do this pinch its beard and apply downward pressure. Insert the syringe, only into mouth not throat, and depress the plunger slowly. Your dragon should swallow by itself. I ahd a dragon pass on from a colon abscess it drank its pedialyte till the morning it died. It can provide the required nutrients till you get her to the vet.
