First, a little backstory:
Yesterday, 25 February, my beardie fell from a high place (~ about half a meter) and she landed wrong. When I looked over to her, she was laying on her left side, completely unable to move.
I immediately brought her to the vet, who said that my beardie hasn't broken any bones thankfully, but she may be in shock of what happened, or hit her head from the fall and it may take a couple of days to fully heal.
-> I got painkillers to use for a couple of days (0.1 ml at 5 pm)
Now:
Currently, she's in a temporary box (not her actual terrarium, where she could risk falling from a small height because it has a "second floor") with a heating lamp in my room, and she keeps making these strange movements with her mouth. Note: she won't move at all, only when necessary or to re-adjust her position.
- She keeps opening and closing her mouth every couple of minutes
- Her eyes are closed for a small period of time and then opens them just for a moment
- Her legs sometimes twitch
I'm hoping that this will pass in a couple of days so she'll be back to her energetic self, but could you please tell me what these movements mean?
