my male water dragon was fine today. but at about 7:00 he kept opening his mouth and swallowing .soon his throat swelled to the size of his head. he rolled around and was jumping like he was in major pain. thn went unconsois and fell of a rock on his back. i thouhgt he died. thn he woke up and pressed ahis throat agaisnt a rock. thn a bunch of water spilled out and he went into liek spasms again. and went unconsios with watter still comingout. i raised the temp in cage and hes seems to be doing better. the swelling is about gone and hes seems fine. he even ate it. every once in a while he opens his mouth up wide like hes gonan puke but nothing comes out. it looks painfull. i did get him to eat a wax worm. btw my lizards are about 3 months old

Sounds like upper respitory pneumonia. I would suggest going to the vet and getting some amikacin. Raising the temperature ten degrees higher then normal(90-100) while making sure that plenty of water is available will often suffice.
