Unfortunetly not. am taking Dragon Lovers advice and preying he make it to morning. will be a long night.

have waked a thermometer and globe in an empty enclosure and will be sitting close by it to monitor tempts to be at but not above 36. thermo is right next to where i have layed him. have placed him on top of a towel, and placed another just over his eyes as had him like that when was holding him and he seemed to relax slightly.

fingers crossed for now.
 
starting to question myself now. so, if anyone has any idea what the cause of this might have been, please let me know. this guy had 3 house mates who all seem fine ATM. i don't think i've made any mistakes, have done plenty of researched and asked plenty of questions for these guys, but if i have made a mistake, i don't wanna make it again!!!!!!!

so any ideas on whats happened, and what may have been the cause, please express your opinions (please, experienced people only, cause this stuff is obviously very serious).

tempts are climbing in the enclosure, at 32.5 now. Tony's breath's are few and far between, but he's breathing!

just stick in there, hopefully he can make it to the vets

How old is he?
What is his diet etc and can u post a pic of his enclosure?
 
don't have pics of enclosure handy. but 4x2x2 shared with 3 others. day globe (basking) and night globe (red) on separate (dimming) thermostats. day temp 38 hot end, cool end varies depending on outside temp, but usually between 28-30. been a warmish day in melb. night temp 28-30. UV globe, 6 months old, with 12 month life at new.

He is 8 month's old. biggest and was healthiest and had biggest appetite of all the beardies (definite male, as confirmed by others). vegies (carrot, cumcuber, lettuce, bok choy) most days. woodie's daily, dusted with vitamin powder prob twice a week. also use a dragon juvi pellet in with his vegies (daily), and a vitamin spray 2-3 times a week. have observed him eating all of these things (again, biggest and healthiest dragon by far till now, has never looked slightly of colour!)
 
temp is now at 34.5, and his still breathing, but hasn't moved at all since i place him in the (just set up) enclosure. He's as i left him. At least he's resting. He's asleep. Vet first thing tomoz! hope he makes it... If anyone in melb has anyone to recommend by all means let me know, but at this stage i'm going to the lort smith. i'm preying one of there 2 specialist reptile vets are there!!! will be calling at 8.30am to confirm, and i hear there is also one in werribee. will also call my local beardie whisper (pet shop owner who's been awesome in sharing what he knows, which seems to be alot) and hope he can point me somewhere if lort smith aren't available! thanks everyone for the great help so late.

keep your fingers crossed for young Tony for me. I'm trying my best in the circumstances to think positive.

Cheers people!!!!

Hey Bretsta, I noticed in a previous post you mentioned you give him vitamin spray three times a week?Can you explain the vitamin spray?
 
OMG, you poor thing! Is he still alive??
If u make it to the vet, make sure you pop Tony in a pillowcase or something similar to transport him so he doesn't stress as much - something dark.
I so hope he pulls thru................:(
 
Hi Brett

Sorry to hear this said news mate,its not 1 from me is it ?
Hows he going now and did you get him to the vets. ?
I was also wondering about the amount of vit spray u are using.
I think you should be cutting it back to 1 spray per week if at all.

cheers
 
Any news Bretsta? We're all hanging here.... Hope like hell he's still with us mate. Good luck.
Nic
 
Dreading the inevitable news, but just need to know!

Greg, so pessimistic!! (realistic, be it otherwise called)
Hoping he got it to the vet in time for copious amounts of antibiotics for a possible lung infection, or copious amounts of fluids for dehydration problems due to possible psychological bullying??
We've got to live in hope.....................:?
