I got a beardie around 2 years ago, and he was always a good feeder. He went off of food a year back, so I took him to the Vet. I wasn’t a fan of the vet (his tone when talking, and he got some facts wrong) but he basically told me my beardie was fine. He also told me to add a water bowl in his tank. This ended up messing up Tiny’s (that’s my beardie’s name) shed, and made him cough. I took the bowl out, and he didn’t cough again. His appetite returned a little, but not the same. Fast forward to about a month ago, and his poop & urate started looking less together (almost like mush, with a proper urate). He went off of food entirely. This was winter so I figured brumation. He didn’t lose barely any weight, anyways. Then comes a week or so ago. His urate started to be more liquidy, and was suspended in this sticky brown goo. Then he started doing a weird choking/gagging thing. I set up a vet appointment (with the same vet). That morning, tiny threw up a puddle of brownish reddish stuff. I, freaking out, took him to the vet right away. The vet again told me Tiny looked fine, and the fecal test didn’t show parasites. He put tiny on antibacterial, anti parasite antibiotics anyways, because Tiny wasn’t feeling well. The meds are Sulfa trim. Tiny’s been on them for five days, and seemed increasingly tired each day. He stopped throwing up day 3. (He threw up 3 times in 2 days.) I thought “maybe he’s getting better.” I’ve been giving him a bath every day and hydrating him (via the vet’s request) . But the tiredness was bothering me. Come today, I go to move his cork bark (he shifted it a lot somehow) and I pick him up and move him after offering water. He suddenly goes into this slight fit of gasping/coughing? He shakes his head once, and goes to lie down in the corner. I left him alone for a few minutes because I thought maybe me moving him stressed him, and when I came back he was gaping slightly, and every so often would sit up and take a deep, open mouthed breath. I thought before he had parasites, now I don’t know. I want to get bloodwork done, but I’m feeling quite confused and in over my head. This is my first reptile I’ve ever owned. Any input would be appreciated. Similar experiences and advice Especially. He looks super uncomfortable.
