There have been some serious concerns with our 9yr old bearded dragon today. He has been panting and taking heavy deep breaths...hadn't pooped for a few days either. At one point he kept his back end still and started flailing his front end around somewhat violently...smacking into the glass and all.
I got him out to give him a bath...he went poop pretty quickly so I got fresh water and put him back in......he black bearded for the first time ever (in 9yrs) and continued to huff and puff. He would open his mouth wide almost trying to get air.....his mouth looked pretty yellow as well.
Any ideas on what is going on? I'm thinking he may be at the end of his years, and we don't have a herp vet within about 2 hours....hoping somebody has an idea.
Thanks.
