Puking Dragon??

emilyisrad Jun 16, 2006 10:56 PM

I recently adopted a 2 year old water dragon with rot on her snout. I've been treating her by cleaning it with peroxide and neosporin. Well today I went to treat her and before I could she started making a gagging noise and then shook her head and clear liquid flew every where. Did she throw up?? She hadn't eaten anything before she did it, which may explain why it was clear. And afterwards she acted completely normal. Does anyone have any advice?

all i know is that Hydrogen peroxide will make you throw up. if he ingested some that can explain it. it is not harmful. vets recommend to make your animal drink this to puck if they have eatin some rat poisen or anything deadly.

What I would do also, in order for a less chance of being ingested, with the peroxide, put it on a Q-tip and squeeze out any excess from it, and a good time to do this is towards the evening hours before you turn the lights off for her to sleep, that way she is more relaxed and isnt doing anything physical like eating. Just a thought. As for her gagging and stuff from the peroxide and you saying that she was doing this before you even administered it, it could be smell as well. I was chewing mint gum once and my cat smelled it and started gagging. Ya never know, but like spentchange said, he might puke if any is ingested also.
