[QUOTE="Drache613, post: 2035456, member: 8309"] Hello, First off, the vet is incorrect regarding brumation. Dragons who are healthy have absolutely no problem with going into brumation. If they have some health issues, then they shouldn't be allowed to go into brumation until they are healthy again. Could something in the tank be causing her coughing/wheezing? I noticed that she has a sand & clay substrate in her tank, could that possibly be causing some respiratory distress? In many cases, their white blood cell counts can be depressed if they are slown down for a brumation phase. This may or may not be the case here but just throwing that out there. I agree, that Meloxicam dose should be lowered but not sure she needs to be on that right now. Most of the time, surgeries for spaying are pretty routine. Exploratory surgery is usually a fairly common surgery too. Are they sure that is needed, I hate for her to go through too many surgeries. I would caution against giving anymore calcium injections & D3 injections as too much if not needed can cause renal failure in some cases. Do you have a copy of the blood test by chance?
