Reptile & Amphibian Forums

There is a guy on another forum with a baby dragon that won't eat well, has started throwing up his crickets, and seems very weak. He got them from a pet store, 2 others are doing better, this one is going down hill. Any advice? What is a good syringe mix that this little guy could easily digest. I usually use mashed pellers soaked in electrolytes, pinch of cal powder, and a spoonful of high protien, no vit. A baby food. Is there smething better?

MY Dragons!!

people that got dragons from pet stores the past 1-2 weeks and are dealing with the samething.

Give diluted pedialyte unitl and ASAP call a vet and get them in with a fecal, at a minimum they are probably loaded with coccida.

Really, no one on this forum can undo what they have ususally been subjected to in a pet store enviroment...... even if clean, the stress is very destructive to them, not to mention that many pet stores are the dumping ground for already ill, inbreed or diseased dragons.

Once they have seen the vet and had a fecal, then come back here and we can walk them through getting nutrition and fluids in the baby.
