Breathing Issue/Nose Clogged

Member
My beardie seems to have one of her nostrils clogged. Something dark in color appears to be clogging it and she is having a bit of a struggle breathing, her mouth is open most of the time even when she is not basking as she tries to breathe. She is currently in shed, but that does not look like shed to me. I am not using any loose substrate. The substrate I am using is tiles. Temps and UVB are all on point.

Have anyone encountered such a situation? Does it eventually go out by itself?

I have attached some pictures

@KarrieRee any suggestions?

Is it possibly a piece of food ? She will probably end up blowing it out eventually -- I can have ahbd take a look and see what she thinks --

That's usually shed, it should come out eventually. They usually mouth breath for a while off + on like this.

I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
Swordtail has been doing a whole lot of "Lizard yoga" lately
Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
