My bearded dragon had a seizure, won't eat or open eyes. What to do?

Question

Good afternoon! I had just gotten a bearded dragon about a week ago from my local Petco. He’s about 2 months old, and is a carefree juvenile. Poor thing had a seizure three days ago while I was giving him a bath. Since then he’s been sitting on his perch, basking. Rarely opens both eyes (tends to open just one), he wouldn’t eat, or move much in the tank. Is there anything I can do?

You should have him examined by your veterinarian or an experienced herp veterinarian to diagnose illness or injury. It may have been a one time episode or it could be a congenital condition. If so, you may have the option to return or exchange the bearded dragon for another one. Contact the Petco where he was purchased and ask what is the policy regarding "sick" animals.
