Sick Bearded Dragon

Last week I adopted a bearded dragon from a young girl in my classroom. I found out that her father was going to put it in the freezer because the family didn't want it anymore due to its special needs. It has a broken back and his backbone has fused together in an S shape and it sticks up rather high and he has no tail. He seems to not be in any pain and goes to the washroom well and eats pretty well too. I have him in proper temperatures and under the right kind of lighting. I've have been giving him collard greens and kale with a bit of carrots on top for his greens. Tonight I got home and he seemed great but half an hour he started vomitting. I am very concerned about this. I have never had a bearded dragon before but have done as much research as I can to make sure he is getting what he needs. Could he just have ingested too much or what could be causing him to get sick? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Vomiting or regurgitation can occur because of overeating or can be sign of systemic illness. Try feeding smaller amounts and if it regurges or vomits you likely have something more serious going on. If you have a qualified reptile vet in your area you should consider taking it for an appointment, especially if it regurges on smaller food amounts.

He most likely ate to much dragons are hunters and granted yours has a broken back it should still have meat in its diet..

That could be a prolapse. Go to a herp veterinarian ASAP. I have never seen a case of hemorrhoids in any reptile.
