Help please...strange breathing

[nikkicostello89]

Hi,

One of the new beardies I got a couple of days ago is starting to breathe kind of laboured. She's breathing in really deeply and puffing her beard out as she breathes. She's really sucking in the sides of her chest to breathe.

She seems fine in herself, from what I can tell from the two days I've had her. Her past owners did not keep her very well and I know that she is underweight and may possibly have a calcium deficiency.

Any suggestions of what this might be and how I can help?

Thanks,

Nikki

She's in the vet. She was egg bound, they're neutering her now.

How is she doing? it sounds like you made a good decision to take her to a vet. Is this vet a herp vet? One that specializes in reptiles? I hope so. I hope she's doing better.
