Baby Bearded Dragon Coughing/Gagging

[AHBD]

Oh wow, that's about as strange a diagnosis as I've heard. Is this vet really a good reptile vet ? I wonder how he got a wound in back of his throat....it would have possibly been from swallowing something sharp or being poked by an instrument like small forceps or something. Or could have swallowed an insect that was pretty large and bit him on the way down. Were you in the room when the vet looked down his throat ?

Anyway, hopefully everything will clear up and he will be fine ASAP.

That is good to hear any idea how he got the wound in the throat? You can get him some BSFL that are a small soft larvae that might be easier on his throat - order large www.symtonbsf.com - he would eat a lot of them since they are small - you can add them to his salads

Thanks! No idea how he got a wound in his throat.

Thank you! I hope it all clears up quickly too. He’s a knowledgeable vet. I was in the room the whole time and witnessed everything he did. He explained everything to me in great detail the whole time. I have no idea how he got this wound.

Hello,

Your boy is beautiful! I'm happy to hear you decided to keep him. I wouldn't have wanted to give him
back either, because he had already bonded with you as well!
That is very odd, a wound in the back of his throat. That definitely happened before you got him, so it
has just been irritated for awhile. Stress from shipping him probably caused it to flare up. I hope he
gets better soon!

Thank you very much Tracie! I hope he gets well soon too. The breeder has been great as well. Lots of communications and lots of concern for Antares and for me. He refunded $100 back to me to help cover the vet bill since I didn’t want to part with him.

Hello,

Wow, that is really nice of the breeder to help out with some of the vet cost then. Antares is a great name,
too. It's hard to just give them up. I think he will be fine, it sounds like he is improving now.
