Hi
For the past few days after bathing my BD he has not stopped gaping he is even doing it in his sleep.
He did drink some water but since then the does not move at all or try to hold on if I hold him at an angle. I've noticed that I cant seem to see his breathing like I would usually. I have two bearded dragons both in separate similar vivs and I change there lights every 6 months and dust all there food with calcium. He has never been very active since I got him as a juvenile but now he wont move at all. He is now about a year and a half old. He has turned down all food for the past few days but he has pooped in this time. I have raised the temp as per the advice in other threads when they have water aspiration but to no luck at all. His eyes are not sunken and he has good fat pockets.
I feel a vet visit is the next move but fear it will be far more expensive then I can afford. Please help
