Bearded dragon and leg paralysis

Question
Hello I think my bearded dragon has leg paralysis from eating too large of a cricket. I read to give him applesauce sugar free w/ olive oil I am curious how I do that. do I use a baby medicine dropper and put it in his mouth? Please help I am very concerned. He is only about 9 months old.

Answer
First you need to follow my directions and provide the relevant background information required in my instructions. I don't like questioners to give me the diagnosis. I prefer to formulate that myself from facts provided, because if the health problem lies elsewhere, then you are likely to be given the wrong info and the Dragon dies because the right info didn't come in time. So....follow the directions.
