Hi everyone, I might be a really paranoid mom...
Rango went to the vet last week for a regular health check, had a tiny bit of coccidia but otehrwise was perfectly healthy.
He started his coccidia meds today so I was giving him a bath because I heard it can dehydrate them. He drank a ton of water, and swam around trying to get his shed off, I took him out and on the way back to his cage he seemed a little frantic and then opened his mouth and threw up a bunch of water. He seemed to breath a little weird for a minute or so after and was very clingy. I held him at an angle and nothing came out of his mouth or nose and he went back to normal breathing and a normal beard.
A few minutes later he ran down to his food bowl and ate about 10 bugs and then went back to bask.
I am just so paranoid and scared, he means the world to me. I called 5 different vets no exotics on call today.
I dont even know if he needs a vet, or just needs to be observed. I dont hear anything in his lungs when he is breathing and he seems normal right now. Could it of just been water held in his beard? Or he got too shaken up when I took him out after drinking?
Im in a panic, has this ever happened to anyone and is there anything else i can do?
