I have had CeCe, a green water dragon for about two years now. She has been very healthy and I have never had a problem with her, untill she started not eating a few months ago. Well, she laid two eggs about a month ago and continued the anorexia. She had a good layer of fat, so no one was concerned about that, I waited for another clutch. She remained very active and looked good. Last week on wednesday she began laying eggs and laid 7 or 8, the last one on Saturday. I could not palpate another egg, but she still did not resume eating. By then she looked significantly skinnier, but not at all emaciated. Yesterday I noticed she was lethargic, and I noticed her drinking in a very tired pose. Today I got home from work and found her sleeping, which is not normal for her during the day. I took her out of her home and she could barely open her eyes! Her pupils looked weird and her eyes are sunken. Her mouth had not wet watery saliva but almost mucousy slime. She displays some energy and is able to walk or resist being moved from her perch, but not like normal. I decided to hydrate her and had her bite on the stick from a q-tip while I slowly emptied syringes of water into her mouth (one cc per 2 min). She just stood on my leg and didn't resist and took about 7-8 cc's of water over 20 minutes. Now I put her in one of her favourite spots near the heater in a water bowl I call her spa, where she soaks for hours. She has a multi level home with a pool at the bottom, but on the top she has a small bowl which is close to a heater and stays warm. The water 80-85 F. I have included a picture of her home and of her normally. I have to add that she had good color, no deformities, the only symptom are the lethargy and the sunken eyes. So does anyone have any ideas? She will be going to the vet tomorrow afternoon and I will be keeping a close eye on her during the night. Please let me know what you think, I love this lizard!
