frilled owners Need Help

Ok so I was looking for a Adult male Frilled Dragon and I found one problem is he is extremely underweight, and is being treated for mites. I put a bowl of food in for him today and he hardly touched in he ate maybe 2 mealworms and 1-2 waxworms out of it. I gave him a real good soaking last night when I got him home to hydrate him. He is going to the vet this sat and more than likely get one some meds but I want to get him going now. He is real aleart and has a great personality just has been negleted. I really hoping to turn him around and get him back on track I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that its to late but im going to try everything I can for him.

Here are a few pics of him he is currently in a 55gal holding tank until I can get him on track then he will move to his larger home.

i think you are on the right track. get him to a herp vet asap and get fecals done. he may have parasites too. do you have any history on him? cb or wc? how long in country? previous care?

The owner told me he was a CB and is about 3 years old. He is way to friendly to be a WC adult I have delt with those before they are almsot always flighty and frilly. I feel that he is a CH import since there are few true CB frills on the market. I found some albon that I had when I treated a rescue bearded and started him on that he took it like a champ so I gave him a minced up pinky thru a suringe he ate that also.

he is on day 2 of eating thru a tube today he ate about 30 minced up wax worms im hoping to get him eating on his own real soon gosh I hope this guy makes it he is skin and bones right now.

keep us updated....I hope the guy gets better.

Sean, what you are doin for that little guy is wicked awesome. I hope that things work out. Please do keep us updated on his condition!

a quick update he has settle right in and now is starting to eat me out of house and home I can some some weight comming back to him and he looks alot better will be some time before he is out of the woods but he is making a strong recovery. He did see the vet and didnt have a parasite problem.

that news put a smile on my face....GREAT!!!

keep us posted.:)
