 EMERGENCY--death may result

--its about Kiara--the beardie I got from Sean and Laura.

Kiara is dong something very weird and scary...he’s fine then SHARPLY gasps(intakes heavy) beard puffs out too.

SOMEONE TOLD ME ITS A REACTION TO PAIN. It looks like when a person gets scared or poked with something sharp--its like a quick sharp "boom" then fine.

PLEASE HELP ME. I think she might have impaction. Adonis hasn’t pooped in 2-3 days. Kiara has been un happy colors ever since they got parisites--which I’m sure they have--even though my parents don’t believe me.

Is this life threatning? I don’t have any money for a vet. Im so scared--it really scares me--it just started not that long ago--and is rapidly getting worse.


Please help me, I am at your mercy,
Nikke

tell your parents to get on this forum and read some of the stuff that people post.
if you are that concerned and she is that bad looking, you MUST get them to a vet. seperate them if they arent already. why havent you posted anything before about them having parasites? or have you, and i just missed it?

I have before--and had poopy pictures too.

Kiara was always fed superworms at her breeders--I hear that they can cause impaction

she has stopped doing that thing for now-(5-7 mins) but I am really concerned

unfortunately my family is broke.--we’re going to have to sell our car just to get through this month.

IF I WASN’T SMART AND CENTERED ON MORALS--I’DE RESOLVE TO PROSTITUTION IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO A VET---but I would NEVER do that--but that is how DESPERATELY CONCERNED i am right now.

are you refering to Sean and Laura when you say breeders? i believe that they know what they are doing to the fullest extent, and Kiara was perfectly healthy when you got her. i wouldnt try to blame this on them. you cant expect a dragon to get parasites and just go through it with flying colours. IMO, you should be aware of what you are getting into before you go out and buy a new pet... you should factor in vet bills and food costs, etc.
but i do not want to sit here and preach about this- all i can say is you need to get them both to a vet ASAP. try to get a fresh fecal from both of them as well. in the mean time, keep them both hydrated.

I wasn’t trying to blame this situation on Sean and Laura. I was simply referring to them--to let people know which dragon of mine I was talking about.

at the time when I bought her--I did have the money--but my father has been screwed by the university he professor’s at---and my mothers work has screwed her yet again over not paying for sick leave--she’s on acupuncture and everything.

my sister borrowed ALOT of money also and hasnt payed my mother back yet so we really are such in the mud---but I WILL get the money for the vet NO MATTER HOW I GET IT.

and i have been keeping them hydrated.

Are you sure she’s not just puffing up with air and warming up? They gulp air down.

puffing up with air to WARM up?--Idont think so--it seems like its involentary.
It just happens very SHARPLY.

like when someone gets scared--we react by a sharp intake of air--or scream.

it comes so fast and she really makes a load noise...like a wispy..rough *ack!*

its like hickups! they come so fast and unexpectingly--then nothing....then back again

I can tell it catches her off guard...her entire body jutts forward when it happens...and she seems shocked or shooken by it. It really does look like its an "ouch" type reaction.

and its a very DEEP breath in--more like a harsh wheeze-in

i will try to get pictures or a shot film clip.

thankyou for your replys.
