My beardie is what looks like yawning, multiple times a day for the last week or so. He does little jerks afterwards. I thought it was choking at first but he doesn’t seem to be having issues breathing I don’t think. When he opens his mouth he makes a sound but only when he does his really wide open ones and it just sounds like his jaw opening. His ‘yawns’ don’t occur in a pattern or anything of meals and stuff. When he yawns, he also puffs up his beards and his belly.
He’s also been trying to go into brumation, but since we just finished treating him for parasites and haven’t done the fecal sample yet to see if it worked, my vet advised that I wake him up so I’ve been taking him outside in a tent where it’s been about 32°C (90°F) outside. It worked kind of since before he hadn’t left his cave or ate in 4 days, but he’s still not as active.
He’s also been eating way less and less interest in food in general. When he walks, it’s like he’s moving in slow motion and just doesn’t have the energy to do anything.
Trying to get him into see a vet again, but the wait times are insane. Could this be a URI?
