Brownish liquid coming from nose

[Nick adam]

Hi,I’m a bearded dragon owner and I’ve gave my beardy a bath and after I took her out and drying her I realized a brown looking liquid coming out of her nose. She’s not showing any signs of a respiratory infection but I do not know if this is one of the signs. Please help I don’t know if this is bad or not.

Did she drink in the bath? If she did its possible she aspirated and the water is now coming out - if so please angle her downward so she can get more water out and place her under her basking light

Hello,

That is an odd color, was the discharge possibly just off colored from bath water? It is possible she
aspirated some water so as Karrie suggested, try angling her down in case water needs to drain out.
Overnight, you can try to place her on a slight decline, to help any excess fluids drain out.
It would be a good idea also, to keep her tank a little warmer overnight, usually around 75-80F to help
boost her system for a few days.
Let us know how she is doing.

Is her substrate sand/soil?
I've used a mixture of different substrates and their noses can get pretty crusty, especially if they like to root around (a could of mine think they are piggies lol). It could be her nose was full of substrate. But i would still watch her close in case of a R.I.
