Beardie sneeze???

[JailBirdStripes]

Can or do beardies sneeze?

When I arrived home from work today, I pulled stripes out of her viv to run around and feed her a bit...

After she was done eating, she ran in a circle, looked at me, half-flared, and then made this noise that sounded like Donald Duck getting pissed off...

While she did this, she shook her head violently, and threw some clear liquid around... Any ideas?

Wierd story with a cute ending: As soon as she was done, she looked at me with the "I'm sorry" face.

Sounds like she may have vomited. My baby did that when I first got her. I took her to the vet armed with a video b/c it is kinda hard to explain plus the vet wanted to hear what she sounded like when doing this. He said she was regurgitating. I would get her to the vet thought to make sure it isnt URI. Good luck and hope she gets better!

worst part about it is I can reproduce the sound myself... I'll get that checked...

Thats aweful..poor baby!! Is there any crustiness around the nose or eyes? Does she seem like she is having a hard time breathing? Usually though when they thrash their head from side to side it's a sign of them throwing up. If she is presenting "the crusties" than she almost definately has URI. Keep us posted on how she is doing and how the vet visit goes if you take her.

No crusties anywhere.
Just had a "head shed" about a week ago... not crusty though. No trouble breathing, not humid or cold in her tank, everything has been normal even with a move. I'm pleasantly surprised how quickly she has adapted to her new surroundings. She's been active, alert, likes to run around, but to try and prevent an URI I keep her away from the glass patio door and the drafty front door where the temps are in the mid to upper 50's where the draft comes in, so I'll scoop her up before she spends too much time around those areas.

Do beardies get tummy aches like we do and just vomit like that?

Sorry for the multiple posts-

I'm assuming URI stands for Upper Respiratory Infection?

Just want to make sure I'm not missing some other Beardie sickness....

Yes URI stands fro upper respiratory infection. My vet told me that they do get belly aches and vomit which could very well have been the case. If it happens again though I would have her checked by the doc to make sure there isnt anything wrong. Even though shes alert and stuff doesnt mean shes ok...although its a good sign. They hide their illnesses very well. Keep us posted
