Hello!
I am writing this because I need some opinions about my two year old bearded dragon. So, I just woke him from brumation yesterday, and the first thing I noticed is that he has some issues. He tenses his belly and opens his mouth, pushing air from them and puffing his beard, like wheezing, and occasionally sounding like a little duck.Yes, it does remind of trying to throw up. He was immediately take to the vet specialist two hours from where I live. She said it might have something to do with his digestion not being balanced after brumation, so he was given an antibiotic and infusion. I am not completely sure, however. I suspect he might have upper respiratory infection. Is there any way to identify it more specifically? Does anyone have any tips or experience about this? His temps were checked, he was given a bath and other than this and the fact that he is refusing to eat his veggies, he is full of energy and looking good. He didn’t even loose any weight while brumating.
Feedback would be appreciated.
