He died

My beardie that I was trying to sell has died. I believe due to internal injuries. One of the 3 cats (mine's excluded because she's so scared of him she won't even go near the cage) took him out of his cage. He only had 2 marks on him. One small puncture on his back and on kinda behind his ear. I found him laying on the cement floor not moving. I thought he was dead but he made it another 2 days. I found him dead this morning. I knew it was going to happen because of the way he was acting and also because his mouth was bleeding yesterday. And for those of you sitting there thinking "why didn't she take him to the vet" I tried they could do nothing. They wouldn't even x-ray of anything like that. The main reason I wrote this was to ask kinda a sick question but when you've had a beardie die did they throwup?? I found some puck by his mouth when I found him this morning. Nothing else just puke.

Sorry for your loss.
Well as you know, cats have bacteria on their claws and teeth. This is what allows them to be such good hunters, when they strike a bird, 90% of the time, the bird will die of infection.
As for how the cat got it out of the cage, well cats will always figure out a way to get where they want to get. I am sure it's not anyone's fault. I have a cat that is de-clawed and I still don't let him free roam in the reptile room without my supervision since I am sure he would try to snack on one of them

Thanks everyone. I was quite upset all day yesterday but now I'm ok. Well still miss him and all but better. Well all of the cats are de-clawed. The vet just just "too busy" to see him at all. As for the cat got him out I have no idea. I think he might have grabbed the cat, bite it and then clung on long enough to get pulled out. That's just a idea though.

Ya it does. Although I'm glad he didn't suffer for too long. He only lived for 1 day and 2 nights. Died sometime during the second night. I was just getting him tame too. My sister used to secred him, although she didn't know she was, she was just saying hi. After I told her to stop he calmed down for me to pick him up and that. Anyone else put their hand in the cage found out just how strong beardies jaws are!!

vets make me sick, they are only in it for the money not the welfare of animals, i would have said that because it was a reptile is why they couldnt make room to see it cuz it wasnt cute and cuddly..........but my recent experience has proved that to be wrong, my patagonian cavy broke her leg and every vet in barrie said no they wouldnt take her, except one emergency center, i was later referred to 2 vets in toronto
i would search for a vet now that will take in reptiles in case of future mishaps regardless of how 'busy' they are, a life is a life no matter who it belongs to
sorry about your loss
