So, I have come to the conclusion that no fault of my own that Maya became special needs because I struggled for so long to get him back on track. I know it takes time and I'm hoping for a miracle that he will be back to semi-normal existence. All his basking spots are on the floor of his enclosure. I used a bunch of very thick rolled up fabric on his basking spots. I have a feeling I may need to do more to his tank. But I also don't want to injure him further.
I mostly hand sew cushions, pillows. I'm about to search the fabric I have inside and use pillow cotton to make a nice cushion for him. He has a swollen shoulder pad.
Yes, I would 'ask for an x-ray' to be sure nothing is broken in his shoulder pad. (He doesn't pull away or flinch. So, that's a good thing. It may be inflamed from landing on it. I'm still using the Serrapeptase at .50 mls, but will take less because he gets 'tired' of it. I sneak the remainder in his dandelion greens. (At least he's getting it some way or another.
I've asked countless of people who rescue dragons on FB for help with special needs dragons. Answers are so few and far between. People told me to go to the vet and check his poop. (That can come later) Some people try to reassure me that I'm doing the best I can do for him. I feel so bad because I'm trying so hard to find help and resources that are few and far between. I have thought about asking for financial help and so forth by opening a gofundme for his needs. I have thought of rescues that have rescued dragons and they made a complete turn around with reputable exotic vets. I have thought of 'handing him over' to someone who can take him to their vet for care.
