My baby bearded dragon got paint on him. Is it toxic? What now?

You can try using a bit of olive oil and a cotton swab to gently remove the tape. Additional soaking may help remove it as well. Remove the pieces you have unwrapped so she doesn't get tangled or hung up on anything. If you use scissors, be very careful to not cut her.

One or two pellets will likely pass through uneventfully. Monitor for lethargy, loose droppings or loss of appetite. You can soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. During the soak, gently massage his abdomen from front to back to stimulate defecation. Consider using slate, reptile carpeting or plain paper towels as a substrate in the future to prevent accidental ingestion.

Some types of paint can be toxic to dogs, so I recommend you try to wash the paint off with mild liquid dish soap or shampoo for dogs, and if that doesn't work, carefully trim off the paint-covered fur, taking care not to cut the skin. I do not recommend you use any paint thinner/ remover on Junior Taz, as some of those are toxic as well. I recommend you contact the pet poison helpline at the following link for more information: https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com

It is possible the shed aid contained moisturizers or emmolients that may have enhanced color. These products soften the shed to make removal easier. Try bathing her in warm water for 20-30 minutes. Monitor for lethargy, decreased appetite or redness on the skin. See your vet if necessary. Consider frequent baths or misting in the future to aid in shedding.

If it was a recent ingestions (last few hours), a veterinarian can induce vomiting. It is not certain whether onions are toxic to bearded dragons or not. Offering plenty of oral fluids could help move the onion through the GI tract. Offering warm water soaks can help with defecation, thereby moving foods through the GI tract faster.

It is likely thst some of the toxin has entered her system, but hopefully most will have come up with the toad itself. She will lukely be off form a few days and have an upset tummy. If the vet isnt an option all you can do is nurse her, bathe her to try and keep hydration up and just keep a close eye on her.

The good news is that from my research, Behr has never made a paint that contained lead pigment. Because it doesn't contain lead, it's much safer but you may see some mild GI upset from this ingestion in the form of vomiting. I can give you a home remedy for Tiger in case you do see vomiting. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
