Our ADV-positive beardy has had a long journey and stopped eating for a few months. We got her back eating again for about 2 weeks, and she stopped eating again. But this time, she's exhibiting same fairly frantic behavior.
She will constantly try to get out of her terrarium by scratching at the glass - we will let her out, she will go to a window, sit there for a minute, jump down, then go in a circle, go back to the window, etc. It's like she is constantly trying to get somewhere else. She has been like this since she stopped eating.
We also notice that she is making very faint respiratory sounds once in a while that sound like she might have an upper respiratory infection, but it doesn't quite sound like the same thing I've heard in respiratory infections before. It's much less pronounced. We have an appt with the vet in a week, but we have not had very good luck with this vet who just always suggests putting her down rather than treating her, so any help or insight that you all might have would be appreciated.
The frantic behavior is a bit troubling, and we have not ever seen it before. She basically will not bask and is not really getting any UV because she just keeps wanting to leave the terrarium and go somewhere else.
We considered that there might be something in her terrarium causing her to want to get out all the time, but we have deep cleaned it.
The no eating is also concerning, and we will go back to syringe feeding if we have to.
