Ella or Eleanor help please or any one knowing about bearded dragons(up date)
not got news at all,he has got a big impaction and the next 24 hours are critical,we seen our vet tim and though he does'nt specialize in reptiles was brilliant,he massaged his tummy for 10 minutes and dripped some lubricates up his bum to try and make him poo which he did a bit but tim said there is a lot more to come out but known yet ,i have to give him drops of olive oil to try and shift it and lots of warm baths,just gave him one earlier and he kept falling asleep in it,to be truthful he looks awful,his beard is black,i've never seen it like that before,he's just sleeping now.

Definitely worth upping his temps in his viv a couple of degrees to help get his digestive system working at it's best, but yes lots of water baths hope he improves soon

It's common for beardies with impaction to be very sluggish, so if he wants to sleep, that's not surprising. The warm baths will help a lot. If you're worried about him falling asleep during the baths, you could try placing your hand under his head to ensure it stays above the water.
If you gently massage between the ribs and back legs for a minute (you might feel a lump - that's the impacted poo), it can help to break up the impaction.
The olive oil your vet gave you will definitely help as well.
I know it's a horrible feeling, but that's probably all you can do right now.
