URGENT
My new bearded dragon Waldo has been breathing very deeply and constantly opens his mouth. The strangest thing is everytime he opens his mouth he makes a weird clicking sound. He normally only does this when he is out of his cage. He is a juevinile ( sorry about spelling ) and is sometimes hyper but mostly non moving. He eats normally and seems pretty healthy overall. One more thing is ever since we've had him he's had a white line down his back. Kinda powdery. He also has one eye open and the other closed alot of the time. If anyone can sorta 'diagnose" his please help. Thanks
I am sorry no one has replied to this. It most definitely sounds like a respiratory infection. Your beardie needs to see a vet for antibiotics. Also sounds like there may be some husbandry issues, can you go over your tank set up?
tank size
substrate
UV light (type and wattage)
heat lights/emitters
temps
This definately sounds like a respiratory infection.
Please answer the husbandry questions that Dreshany posted. Also, do you have a vet in your area that specializes in reptiles?
