Exclamation Omg Plz Help Me!

ok, i need help BAD!

my bearded dragon wont drink water ok, so for the last little while ive been using a waterdroper to give him his water every few days. i usually gently pry his mouth open and just squirt the water on his tounge.

but just now HE BIT THE TIP OFF MY WATER DROPER AND SWALLOWED IT!!!!!

i wouldnt be so worried but its a glass waterdroper, and im worried the glass tip will shread his insides or something.

can any1 give me some tips about what to do?????

You'd better take him to the emergency vet.

alot of the vets are closed on sundays, even alot of the emergency ones,...... worse yet is that the ones that are open dont treat exotic animals like bearded dragons

im really worried now, been calling vets none stop....

but Chet seams to be ok, hes moving around, didnt seam to have any probs when he swalloed it, but im still worried it might hurt him later on.

i know this doesn't help you now,

But instead of using a glass dropper spray him with a water bottle. If he's thirsty he can lick it off his face.

Good luck with him and all I can think is maybe feed him so there is something else in him and maybe it wont do damage. Then tomorrow give him a bath to try and encourage him to pass it as soon as possible. If he doesn't pass it then I think a vet visit is required.
