Clogged nostril

[Srgeorge2177]

So my beardies nose has been clogged for over a week now, he doesn’t act sick. (He hasn’t pooped in about a month though, which he doesn’t poop very often anyways) but my question is how to unclog it? I’ve tried wiping it and using my finger to try and lift it up but can’t get it

Please let it unclog itself -- it will eventually come out

Do you think this looks like shed? Or mucous? I haven’t tried to force it off just gently rubbing after a bath to see if I could loosen it

Does the other side look like that?

I haven’t noticed any mouth breathing, and I don’t believe any mucous around the mouth

No clicking? Just checking - it's more than likely shed then - let it's do it's a thing

I don’t think so, I held him today for a second and I might have heard a click. I’m not sure. I called the vet but they can’t get me in for like two weeks so I’m not sure if it’s a respiratory infection or just shed

The other nostril is actually not really clogged like this one, I just checked it and it’s crusty around the edges but again I can’t tell if it’s shed or dried mucous

Ok well let's have ahbd take a look

I found a vet that could get him in today, they said he may have a slight URI and gave him some antibiotics, which is a shot every 3 days until it clears up. They don’t think very long since I caught it early

My next question: I have quite a few animals in the same room at my beardie. Is it possible they catch it from him? I don’t handle him and then the others without washing my hands first and nothing is shared between my animals.
