    PLEASE HELP! think my beardie had a Upper Respiratory Infect

    Hi everyone! You are right, after writing that and thinking about it, I laughed. I guess I am not sure how much he weighs, but he did gain a little. I took him back to Dr yesterday for his second Baytril shot. The vet said he did look about 30-40% better. He still gasps a bit, but not as often...

    PLEASE HELP! think my beardie had a Upper Respiratory Infect

    Hi everyone, I wanted to post an update on my baby Sammy. Yesterday I hand fed him and he took 15 crickets, he also drank like a champ all on his own. I was so proud of him. He still does that "gasping show" but it has cut way back from when this all started. I keep his tank covered with a...

    PLEASE HELP! think my beardie had a Upper Respiratory Infect

    Yeah, I finally figured out how to post the pictures. Thanks everyone! I am going to go get him some probiotics tomorrow, as long as its not too pricey. I am willing to do anything at this point if I can afford it. I got his tank all cleaned out and it's now lined with paper towels. Tomorrow I...

    PLEASE HELP! think my beardie had a Upper Respiratory Infect

    Hi Tracie, I have not kept a water dish in there since about a week or so. Sammy has never drank of out it and it seemed that all I was doing is cleaning and filling it from just drying out from the lights. He drinks when he gets a bath. He still is doing this gasping like show and it makes me...

    PLEASE HELP! think my beardie had a Upper Respiratory Infect

    Hi Tracie, thank you for all your help! I am so desperate and so worried. This morning he is still doing this gasping show with his mouth. I will have to check the temps under the basking area and find something to check that with. Also, the humidity says 40%, how can I regulate that? I have a...

    PLEASE HELP! think my beardie had a Upper Respiratory Infect

    Thank you for both replys. I have called most vets in my area and no one is willing to work with me on a payment plan. Thank you for the suggestions about keeping him warmer. During the day he has been staying up near the light on his basking rock. At night I turn on his dark light, but tonight...

    PLEASE HELP! think my beardie had a Upper Respiratory Infect

    I have a full grown bearded dragon (approx. 3 years), he has been very healthy during the time I have had him, but starting yesterday, he began gaping his mouth and kind of gasping for air. It also looked like his throat was kind of slimy/mucus. He has also been very thirsty. I researched online...
