I took her to the vet a few days ago and the vet said she seems healthy. I told the vet about Lucy forced exhaling and clicking occasionally but she said she seems fine. She is alert, eating well, and running around occasionally. But right now I’m laying her on my chest and letting her sleep and she keeps raising her head and force exhaling In her sleep. She will twitch her tail like she always does when she’s sleeping and then let out an exhale.
I’m sorry I’m posting on here again, I’m just really worried and the vet gave me no explanation.. she checked her mouth, listened to her lungs, and said she is healthy. But is just doesn’t make sense to me.
Should I go back for X-rays or blood work?

Also I don’t know if the twitching in her sleep is normal, I read an article and few posts about beardies REM sleep and she only does it while she’s sleeping.

Hello,

I'm sorry your dragon is still having respiratory issues, that makes it really hard to know
what could be going on.
Did the vet do an x-ray on her to view her lung capacity?
Have you tried using a nebulizer for treatment for her yet? I would continue to keep her
warm in her tank overnight right now, to boost her immune system. If you do feel as if she
she does have respiratory issues, you could try getting a second opinion.
Does she have twitches in her tail or other parts of her body often, or just sometimes?

I’m taking her in for an X-ray next week I think.
I keep her tank warm af night. I bought a CHE and put it right over her.
She only twitches In her sleep. I’m thinking she is dreaming though.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
