URGENT! Beardie coughing

[toddthedragon]

So my dragon loves drinking water and she has since she was little, the vet says she just really enjoys water and that there are no health problems. Tonight she drank too fast and is now coughing/throwing up water and I'm not sure what to do. She seems okay right now but I don't want her to choke or get sick in any way.

What do I do

Hello,

How is your dragon doing this evening?
I would watch for respiratory infection symptoms such as continued coughing or wheezing, since she aspirated some water. Try to keep her a little warmer overnight, around 80 or so for help with boosting her immune system also.
Let us know how she is doing.

I totally agree with Tracie. Watch for respiratory issues. They worsen fast. Ck with your vet to be safe.

If this doesn't resolve quick you'll need a vet appointment. Aspiration pneumonia is pretty much an emergency....

Hello,

How is your baby doing tonight?
Let us know how he is getting along. I hope his coughing has ceased.
