Allergies IN Bearded Dragons?

[Tiantha]

Do Beardies get or have allergies like to pollen?

Being desert creatures I'm thinking they might. Our Pollen count is through the roof. On occasion Howlin' Rex is sounded congested and today a swear he sneezed or coughed hard once.

Everything is fine in the house areas and Tiantha is fine and they are less than 3 ft from each others.

He's alert, active, eating, pooing and glass dancing to come out so I know he feels fine.

Sounds like it could be a slight respiratory infection!! I would monitor him for the next few days and if it gets worse id go to the vet!!! Just my 2 cents.....

Yes, I agree with Lance, it may be a respiratory infection, keep an eye on him and a vet visit may be a good thing, keep us posted.

 

[Tiantha]

That thought had crossed my mind too... Thanks guys.

That's it he's pointing or star gazing. I have appointment in the am on Wednesday for him.

Stupid weather...grrr... Tiantha is still fine. Grouchy from shedding but fine.

Rex went to the vet today. :roll: The girls LOVED him! :mrgreen:
He was a good boy no bearding black or not. He was weighed and checked and yes we have an upper Resp Infection.

However...get this. "So what makes you think he's got an upper respiratory infection. Well he sneezed, Did he . I nodded. And he's wheezing at times and star gazing in his tank. Is he eating? yes. They had a questioner on feeding, tank ,temps... Looked like our list here :shock: so I breezed through it at fast rate. She reads and smiles.

"OK any thoughts as to how he might have gotten it. Well he likes to swim...under water. :shock: :shock: She blinked and I laughed. :lol:

"And I changed his substrate and it was a bit dusty so he might have gotten it them." She nods. "Yep both can do that but he LOOKS GREAT. She really stressed how when she usually sees them they look really bad, care is wrong and husbandry becomes a lesson. :study:

She said I was doing everything right and just sometimes it happens.

She gave him a shot. he took it like a champ and gave me a liquid for him daily for 10 days. :silent:

THANKS GUYS! I have it right because of people like you all here. You rock but you knew that...
