respritory infection?

[coldhearted]

my big girl Shiva drank some water from her bath a couple of days ago...i think she might have taken too much because she started to "cough" she would move her tounge around like she is licking her lips and then she would breathe out and it would sound like a hissing sound. Im now worried she might develop something serious....

i dont think this is related but it still sucks...she is started to have very runny stool...which makes me believe she has developed parasites...
her roommate (on the other side of the divider) is having normal stool so I have ruled out their food.
Im going to make an appt with the vet to see all of them before i leave to south carolina. i just hope that they dont develop serious health problems before then

Sorry that Shiva does not seem to be doing well.
Can you give us some info about your setup temps etc?

 

[coldhearted]

my setup temps are 100-102F basking
about 85F cool side.
We are using a reptisun, we got it in May of this year right when we go the babies.
They are on tile with shelf liner
They both have water bowel.
Ive been feeding them collard greens/mustard greens for the vegi side of their diet
before that i was feeding them alot of carrots (thats the main food for the crickets)
could that be a problem for them?


She does this behavior every once in a while now...its still freaking me out
it seems like she is blowing out air then swallowing....


other then her weird cough she was seeming a bit sleepy today...but as soon as i put in the crickets she is on it!!!
So weird "cough", not good stool, but excellent appetite, basking well

stupid vet is closed most of the weekend so i have to hope i can get an appt tomorrow.
Im taking all of them in for a check up and its going to be very expensive but id much rather know they are all healthy by the time i leave (or are getting the care they need)

How did this turn out? My beardie is getting the same symptoms.

Don't respiratory infections develop from high humidity? What is your humidity reading?

Pretty low. She has a heat lamp at one end, and a water bowl at the other. She can control her own humidity.
