Great story and details but first and foremost your mom is your mom no matter what. She did the best she could with what she had. No need to criticize her to the tenth degree. That said, I feel the right thing to do is take the reptile to a reputable vet. At the least, for a consultation on the best approach to handle the most pressing medical issues of the beardie. Let mom know this is a case for professional intervention going forward. The reptile vet right now should be the first priority.![]()
