My bearded dragon Nika is an adult that I raised, she lives in a 75 gal enclosure with 95-105 degree temps on the hot side and 70-75 on the cool side. She has meat on her bones, eats well, and is full of life. I’ve owned her 4 years now, and for the past two years, she’s been breathing heavy constantly, and making popping noises. In some cases after drinking water or eating, she even makes a coughing noise. I feed her greens, super worms, meal worms, horn worms, crickets, etc. she gets calcium d3 4 times a week and vitamins 2 times. She is very well taken care of, with a clean enclosure and she lives in my room with me next to a window with good sunlight. What I’m trying to say is, she has it all. I have been frustrated for years about this because I’ve poured so much money into her with vet bills that ended up being nothing in concern with this issue. I’ve seen 3 different reptile vets. The last one I saw was a little under a year ago, and I paid $1,200 for an X-ray, blood test, and bacteria flush. Her results were near perfect, and the vet said her blood test results were great. He didn’t find any evidence of a respiratory infection, but he did say there was a small spot somewhere in her lungs that isn’t concerning, but would need surgery in order to find out what it is. He ended up prescribing her baytril which is an antibiotic for any infections that may be present. She was on that for two weeks and it did nothing. That is all I know, and it kills me because it’s still unknown what it is. Hopefully someone experienced can reply to this and help me out because I have no idea what it is. I’m starting to think she’s just weird and breathes differently. Please help
