Dragon help immeadiate!!!!

[Hooglabah]

okay to start some of you know me and you already know i know what im doing most of the time with dragons and snakes. so rule out all the obvcious questions heat hide water ect.

okay problem my thermostat failed the other day in my dragon enclosure i have two females in there and the younger of the two seems to have been effected by the high temps she was all crazy the day after like shed lost motor control and her sense of balence i.e running into walls falling of walking like she is drunk flipping onto her back then yesterday she seemed fine but now she wont eat and barly reacts to handling at all
im going to try and force some water into her and am going to look for a vet in vic i can get her to but im not hopful im in bentliegh sso if you know of any vets thatd be great.

these guy all reptile vets???

 

[Hooglabah]

okay i got some water into her and now shes seperate from the other one in a dark box if there is anything else i can do let me know and i'll be calling a vet tommorow if shes still alive FINGERS CROSSED.

keep her in a warm, dark, quiet spot with access to water until you can take her to the vet, if being exposed to the high temp caused her stress then it may help to calm her down

 

[gravitation]

I'd soak her.

 

[beardy_boy_6]

i dont no i just got them off wiki but i think they might be

 

[Hooglabah]

well its been a couple of days and shes perked up heaps couldnt find a rep vet that i could get access to at the time but forcefeeding her water helped she almost back to normal now thanks to a friends quick assistance and she should be fine in couple of days still a little stressed but definantly more active

thanks for the help guys.
