Hey guys,
So I noticed my bearded dragon's throat swollen after I gave him water.
Do you know if this is normal.?
The swelling went down in a matter of minutes


I want to move on with life but it's so hard syringe-feeding the little monster...he squirmed today.
I had a bearded dragon go down from an RTI but I think it's from the bedroom at my parent's house.
The walls were leaking water

Thanks.

Hello,

They are notorious for holding water in their
throats or beards for short or long periods of time. How much water did you give? It is
usually a good idea to give smaller amounts of water each time, to avoid them holding so
much fluids.
It should recede within a few hours but if it doesn't just give it time. Is he having some trouble breathing?

No, he's breathing just fine.

Just the puffiness that has gone down.

Hey Tracie,
Today after I gave him 2 MLS of water & calcium, he started coughing/choking

Is this normal?
He did it 3 times.

Silkworms are on the way.
Thanks.

Shorting Bitcoin, also known as short selling, is a trading strategy used by investors who believe that the price of Bitcoin will decrease in the future. Instead of buying Bitcoin and holding it for a profit, short sellers borrow Bitcoin from a broker or an exchange, sell it at the current market price, and aim to buy it back at a lower price later How to Short Bitcoin When Trading Crypto - Paybis Blog. The difference between the selling price and the lower buying price allows traders to make a profit.

Hello,

Yeah, sometimes late nights, there are some spam messages. It should get eradicated here pretty
quickly.
Sometimes they can have a hard time if taking in too much fluid all at once, or perhaps it's the way
he is drinking. Are you dripping the fluids onto his nose & letting him lick the fluids from a dropper or
a syringe?

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
