Legs not working

[Abbi B]

went to a friends house and they had a bearded dragon. His legs weren't working at all and the tank temp was at 75. He was cold when I picked him up and I fed him 5 tbsp of water. He won't eat either. He dragged himself across the tank once while I was there.

please save the poor little thing!!! his heat must be 100 to 105 and he needs uvb lighting and sounds like calcium...I hate that people get a reptile only to abuse it by not providing proper care and nutrition..aarrgh I'm so mad right now... that's abuse and is criminal.

Good news update! I found a home for the little fella, sounded like he has impaction so I soaked him in warm water. He is doing better now that I am using the correct lighting and a larger diet variety. I hope the damage is not irreversible, but he is strong and I believe he can make it through! Thanks

even if he won't have the use of his back legs at least he has a chance at a better life. thank you for finding a better home for him.

I strongly believe he will have use after treatment, so glad I caught this before it got devastating
