The Hazard of Waiting

I'm sad to say the little baby Beardie died on the way to my house. 

The paperwork shows the pet store employees had been trying to treat it for a month. It seemed to be failing fast and so they decided to send it to me. 

The stress of the journey was too much for the baby. There was nothing I could do for it. :( 

Baby beardies have no wiggle room when it comes to sickness or injury. They have almost no fat reserves, a tiny blood volume, and little health reserves. They can go from fine to dead very quickly. If you suspect a problem with a baby Beardie, don't put off getting vet treatment.
