Lost Gordo

my sister found him dead yesterday while I was at work, i dont really know what was wrong with him all the vet could find were elevated calcium levels, i fed him and soaked him everyday but the last five days you could visably see him loosing weight then the last two or three days he pretty much crashed, wouldnt walk wouldnt open his eyes and was very weak. the last morning he had more strength and put up a little bit of a fight wehn I tryed to feed him so I thought maybe he was getting a little better but I guess not. i really miss him him and expect I will for a long time. he was my first bearded dragon and helped me learn alot about them, and i'll never forget him.
i do wish I would have found him a mate so I could have a baby from him but it just didnt happen , i have a few drawing of him around, i'll have to did up a nice one to put up somewhere for him

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Lauren - you must be so upset. How long did you have him for/how old was he?

He'll be over that rainbow with all of our loved ones who have gone to a better place,. so sorry you couldn't do anything to save him. Thinking of you.

I've had him for about 4 years, the place I got him from said he was a year anda half old when I got him bu them mayb have been lying, it was a horrible place but I didnt know any better when I got him.
so if they were truthful about his age then he was about 5 and a half years old

He may just have passed due to old age then.. especially if he was older than they said when you got him.. Whatever, I'm sure he had a wonderful life with you and loved you dearly as you loved him.

My sympathies. It's so hard to lose a beloved pet! You did all you could for him and gave him a much much better life than he started with at that terrible place.
I'm sure he enjoyed his time with you as much as you with him.
I wish you strength and courage at this difficult time!
