UPDATE on friends sick dragon.

peachstategeckos Apr 11, 2005 11:30 AM

Okay, I have good news. The dragon is in good hands with a lady that specializes in reviving bearded dragons. He's [the beardie] taking baby food filled with calcium like there's no tommorow. He's going to get a vet visit after he starts eating but I'm pretty sure this lady knows what she's doing. It turns out like alot of people said he had major calcium defficiency and also his basking spot has only been about 77*. The calcium he's been on since he was a baby didn't have any vit D3 either. So this whole time he's never had any D3 at all....I'm so glad she's doing better. When the owner gets the dragon back I'll be watching them like a hawk making sure she's cared for properly. Thanks for the help yall, I think I scared them enough with what I learned and what I thought was wrong for them to take action.

(I figure I would post the happy ending up here since the older thread was towards the bottom)
