I haven't heard many good things about Banfield and if you use them I'd be sure to see a vet who has experience with bearded dragons. A vet may be able to get a swab of the mucous at the back of her mouth and grow a culture to see what's going on and then prescribe appropriate meds if necessary.

I've heard about the regurgitation, but Maggie rarely drinks water. Her roaches are way more hydrated than I thought possible so she has no need for plain ole regular water lol but today when she drank it was maybe 1ml so I think I'm okay there. This is definitely respiratory.
On one hand I have a slight advantage because my daughter has a trachestomy so we have nebulizers and auction equipment in the house. So I can actively keep her clear of mucus, but I have no access to prescriptions :/ I'm so frustrated I'm ready to pull out my hair!!!

I'm definitely stressing out.. I found another vet, but she's on vacation... she won't be back until next week. We're in farm country and there are like 10 vets who will see horses and chickens, but none who will see a reptile. I spoke to a lady today who had to take her rabbit to the south side of Atlanta just to get checked. I'm tempted to dress Maggie up like a dog and see if one of these butt faces will be willing to take care of her then ?

Got Maggie checked out, X-ray, cultured, etc. She had a scratch in her throat that was causing the excess saliva, but seemed mostly healed up. This combined with a shed that was clogging her nostrils completely on the inside caused the mouth breathing and saliva. No infection!!!!
