Dragon not eating, eyes closed, lethargic

[diamc]

As AHBD mentioned, there are a lot of different issues going on here and she is definitely very weak. It is very important to keep offering drips of water & to try the baby food off & on, make sure it isn't too thick though as you wouldn't want her to choke if she can't get it down easily. Good idea trying a very small dubia or cricket and rubbing the inside of it on her nose or holding it so she can get a smell of it first.

Certainly wouldn't hurt to try taking her outside for a few minutes if it is warm & sunny but not too breezy.

She needs lots of rest now though in a warm spot. We are all pulling for her, hope she can improve, poor thing.

As for the baby food, there is some literally inside of her mouth and she just can't swallow it.

Was it a thick blob of the chicken that you put in her mouth or was it a thin consistency? Does she have her mouth open, is that how you can still see it? Is it in the side of her mouth or on her tongue? If it's like in the middle of her tongue & it's thick & she has her mouth open, you should remove it so she doesn't choke (aspirate) on it.

I'm afraid to say that she died.

 

[diamc]

Oh, I'm SO sorry. If you're not completely sure she is gone, gently pick her up and holding her in your hand, slowly set her back legs in the water while supporting her to see if you see any breathing or movement at all.

 

[AHBD]

Oh no, I'm so, so sorry Chiyo ! You tried your very best to save her. I'm sure this is so upsetting, my heart goes out to you !

 

[CooperDragon]

I'm really sorry to hear about this. I was hoping she would rebound. You did your very best to care for her and that's all that can be asked.

 

[Chiyo]

I'm sure she was dead. I went up about an hour ago, her mouth was open as were her eyes but she was all "sqwished up". I put some water in her mouth and got no reaction, then I gave her a bath, still nothing. I just buried her...

 

[Brezzy99]

I am so very sorry! You tried so hard and we were all hoping she would pull through!

 

[diamc]

Again, I am so sorry. Unfortunately, we weren't able to help in time, seems like she had so many issues going on. You certainly tried your best and we know you cared for her very deeply. We know how much it hurts. We are here if you feel like talking.

Wish we all could have helped more.

 

[Chiyo]

I would like to thank all of you for your time and help. I'm sure it was appreciated by Chiyo, it certainly was by me. Not everyone would have spent the time and effort that you did trying to help me.

Maybe I'll start again properly. I don't know yet, I'll give it time.

 

[Esther19]

I am so sorry for your loss.

You tried all that you could, and Chiyo will always love you for that.
