First off, I know I really need to see a herp vet for complete answers but I just gotta ask a few questions before the vet opens tomorrow.
So, as some of yall may remember I adopted a beardie awhile ago that had a broken arm and suspected MBD. I have taken care of him in accordance to what I had read here, as well as from what I've read in the beardie books I purchased. However, bubba never really was a big eater. He was never ultra skinny, but never a plump little dragon. However, last couple of days he as started refusing to touch his crickets or his veggies and when I went to go check on him moments ago when I got off work, for the first time I notice his eyes seem slightly sunken and his tail has lost the last bit of definition it had. I had spent some time looking him over him earlier today and he had not looked nearly this bad a good 12 hours ago. First thing tomorrow morning he's going to the vet, but I have to ask if there's any advice that can be given to me now as to what I can do for the mean time. He just looks so fragile, I'm sittin here on the verge of tears cause this little bugger has been an on-going battle of mine for awhile trying to keep him healthy and it seems that his time may be drawing near and it saddens me deeply. I just don't know what to do at this moment.

Mbd takes a HUGE tole on lizards, and the broken arm didn't help. Beardies need SO much yo keep alive and when people do not follow those beardie keeping rules it is likely they will die once it has gone to far even once they get help(about 95% of pet store beardies do not make it because people make impulse buys on these cute litter critters) Keep us updated on what the cause of death was/
