Beardies beard swelling

SkittlesK · Dec 5, 2019

Hey guys.
So my adult bd has a slight RI
I was treating her with reptaid for about 15 days.
She hasn't needed it for awhile.
So her beard swells up usually when she goes poop.
Should I give her reptaid when I see her beard swell?
Or is this something I should take to the vet.

& Also how do I treat an RI
The reptaid works with some symptoms not all
Should I continue treatment then x-ray her lungs?

Does her beard swell with fluid or is it swelling with air?

SkittlesK · Dec 5, 2019

I'm not sure but she's not puffing her throat out.
It swells up usually when she goes poop
& That's not often

Can you post a photo or video (or both) the next time you see her do this? It may be helpful to determine what's going on.

SkittlesK · Dec 5, 2019

Okay sure.
I also been massaging her belly to help her poo
Not sure if that could be the cause.

Would supplements like serrapeptase & be pollen & dandelion powder help with the swelling?

CooperDragon · Dec 10, 2019

serrapeptase has been known to reduce inflammation. Without knowing the cause or extent of the beard swelling though, I can't say if it will be helpful or not.

The respiratory infection is getting worse.
The reptaid seems to help
How long can I give reptaid for?
I notice I have alot left

Hello,

Do you have a way to do any nebulizing treatments on her? Respiratory infections are
quite serious if they go on for too long. Be sure to keep her warmer in her tank overnight,
usually around 80 is good.
Has her beard been black at all?

Yeah I've noticed it progressively getting worse.
Not blackbearding but it is def getting worse.

What do you recommend nebulizing?
F10sc?
And what should I use is there a fogger you could link to me?
Thanks

I'm also curious about nebulizing tylosin 50 I heard that clears up resp inf pretty quickly
Can I get some info on that?

Drache613 · Dec 13, 2019

Hello,

I PM'd you with regards to the Tylan50. I hope you are able to find it, as most of the time it has
been shown to be very effective for stubborn respiratory infections.
How is your dragon doing this evening?
