I noticed this morning that my dragon has a watery discharge coming from his mouth and their is a slight blackening to his teeth can some omen help me.
Hi Stacey.... when you say watery discharge, exactly what do you mean ? Some saliva in the mouth, water coming out ?
The pics don't show anything and beadies can get black teeth from the food they eat. What is his diet? Is he eating right now ?
Mouth rot usually presents with red gums and/or cheesy looking pus and the dragon refusing to eat.
He has like salivary discharge only out of one side of his mouth. He is eating fine I feed him a mixture of locusts superwoman and meal worms for a treat. His veg is usually rocket or water cress. I made him a vet appointment for Friday is their a way I can get that food off his death or just ask the vet. His gums r not red when I opened his mouth. Maybe it was the yellowing I was worried about but don't some beardie have a more yellow mouth
A few black teeth is normal for a beardie. If there is no redness + pus and he's eating, there's no mouth rot. You can buy a product called maxi guard and gently try to brush is teeth with a very soft toothbrush for children [ with or without maxi guard, but never with toothpaste ]
A bit of saliva can be present at times, but has he had labored breathing ? Any wheezing or clicking noises and opening his mouth every few minutes ?
I really don't think there's any problem if you don't see those symptoms. BTW, be SURE that your ver is a true, qualified reptile vet or they can usually do more harm than good while you pay them big money.
Thank you he is an experienced vet n no I haven't heard any clicking or wheezing. He tends to make gasping noises in bath but nothing un towards. Thank you ever so much for your help where would I get maxi guard
I can't seem to post the link, just Google maxi guard, it will pop up to show where you can get it.
Does the water come out of his mouth after a bath ? If so just watch carefully that he's not drinking so much that he chokes/aspirates some that dribbles out later. You might cut the baths out except for when he's dirty and offer hydration via eyedropper directly on his snout.
No I noticed this morning in his viv the water it wasn't alot just in the side of his mouth. I will cut out the baths not as often see if that is causing the issue. Will try that thank you
