Today I went to give Norris his dubia treats and when he opened his mouth to grab up a dubia, a bunch of liquid came out. It was completely clear, no white or any other color mucus, no blood, no bits of food. He didn't seem troubled by it and snapped up his dubia. He is shedding right now. He ate well this morning and yesterday but not the day before (which I just attributed to his shed and isn't uncommon for him)
He didn't choke or make vomiting motions. He just opened his mouth and out dumped this liquid. When he left Hunt Mode, I held him up to my ear for a long time, saw his chest rise but didn't hear any clicking or wheezing at all. He is basking right now with his head high and his eyes alert to movement.
He had a bath yesterday and a rinse the day before (because he ran through his poo) and a bath the day before that to help with the shed. I feed his greens fresh rinsed...but that is all the water he has had access to. He ignores a water bowl so we don't keep one in with him.
The only thing I can think of is URI?
Of note: Norris has always had loose stool. The vet has done two fecal tests on him and he has no sign of eggs or parasites in either test. We have still no confirmed reason for him to have loose stool. He poops every one or two days.
