idk if it helps lizards but its worth a shot maybe

i wouldnt use as hard of chest compressions. I really have no clue what to do for reptiles but i do hope you can find something. this is really distressing

I wish there was something I could say or do.... But it sounds like he has passed on.

Snakeman8 · 01-03-13, 01:42 PM

is he breathing? O_O

SpOoKy · 01-03-13, 01:43 PM

Sorry but it sounds as though he is gone...was everything normal up to this point?

Terranaut · 01-03-13, 01:53 PM

Omg. So sorry.

I am terribly sorry, I know how it feels, but sadly there isn't a lot that can be done. Sorry for your loss.
Was everything normal until now? Will you be having a necropsy done to determine the cause?

I am so, so sorry

MrBosc · 01-03-13, 02:03 PM

Looks like he's gone guys, tried pretty much anything that come to mind I think at the back if my mind I visioned movement after trying things but its clear hes not coming back :'( and yes pretty much everything was fine, temps, humidity held fine, 70/60 top soil play sand except I have him a larger water bowl, not adding any depth it was just bigger on the width I have no idea why this has happend. He could get out of the water bowl with a breeze therefor I'm shocked as to why this has happened

and to think of all those little moments like the first time they come up to you, then the first time they crawl onto you and before you know it you come back to that

devistated to say the least especially with my drive to research to ensure he's being kept well. Thanks for all your support, not only on this post but for my other threads that people have helped me on

I'm sorry for your loss... ):

thats so sad. Today is the day of sads. I am so sorry for your loss. It cannot be easy. Maybe he had an issue you didnt know about that caused the drowning. Could lizards get seizures?

This is what I'm thinking. You might want to consider having a necropsy done to determine the cause.

If they do a necropsy and find foam in the lungs then its possible he drowned though that would raise a lot more questions as healthy monitors dont drown, if not then maybe a seizure caused him to flip in his water and his airway cut off before he could actually drown? I am not saying a seizure caused this but I am inquiring about the possibility of a neurological problem that just happened to occur when he was going for a swim or drink.
