so as the title suggests ,I have a large male eastern water dragon with permanent injuries.
he was a resident in the back yard before we moved in . I found him perched on a log in a very poor state . so I looked him over and found not only was he very thin ,but the crown about his right eye has been crushed causing blindness in that eye and his jaw is broken.
so I cleaned the area up with water and peroxide and made an enclosure for him. it looks like its an old wound but he is slowly starving to death ,due to been blind in one eye and his jaws doesn't close all the way ,so he has trouble grabbing his food he is currently feeding and I hope to fatten him up over the next few weeks, with live meal worms and I hope to get him onto fruits, veg and meats soon.
but the real problem is he wont survive in the wild. so he will have to be permanently homed and cared for.
so living in qld ,on the sunshine coast I am looking for any info on how to find a carer and what the legal avenues are in this situation.
regards chris
