Lucy, rescue 94

Lucy is a beautiful and BIG female bearded dragon. Between being impacted (constipated) and carrying a few eggs and having pinworms, her belly is very bloated! She also has a nasty respiratory infection.


She got her first doses of antibiotic shots and pinworm meds tonight. I'll make sure she's pooping regularly and then we'll deal with getting her to lay her eggs. It's all triage-- treat the worst things first. 


The antibiotics will start working well within 24 hours and that will help. Good nutrition and good husbandry (daily care) should help her bounce back quickly.
