Hi all.
My female beardie is about 1 year and a half old. She's always been a picky eater and sometimes just refused to eat, but I've taken her to a specialist vet many times who has confirmed that she is fine. She hasn't lost weight, she hasnt got adenovirus or mbd. Her habitat is fine. I have an arcadia long uv light and a mercury heat lamp for her basking spot, which is 36-40C in different parts of the hot side. We even did an x ray and an mri after that and the only thing that showed up was that her kidney was a bit 'too round' but the vet had no idea what it could mean because she'd never seen it before.
This morning she keeps almost coughing at random intervals. She was running around her tank in the morning as she often does, and then started 'coughing'. What happens is her mouth opens and her head sort of lunges, and then a little wheeze. She has been really bad with eating these past few months but I didn't take her to the vet because she's picky and hasn't lost weight and isn't blackbearding. I've heard her make little wheezes before but never as bad as this, I thought she might have a respiratory infection but the vet said not the last time I checked.
What could this be? Please help.
