seeing that temps are THE most important aspect of husbandry, and you still have yet to mention them, i would say that those are your problem.

no vet visit is going to help when the animals are kept with poor temps.

basking should be 130F , especially with resp/mouth issues, and daytime ambient should be low to mid 80's. with a sick monitor, i wouldn't drop night temps much, if at all.

guessing or ignoring temps results in sick and dead monitors. get a temp gun, it will change your world, and results.
