My female collared is progressively getting sick. i don't know what to do. her eyes are very puffy, but she is not losing weight. she seems to have the hiccups and her breathing is labored. liquid is swelling in her eyes. what is the problem?

For the eyes, it could be the substrate you are using. Is it that real fine sand that they sell at most pet stores??? I'm not sure of anything but you definitly aught o see a vet. Hope this helps and Good Luck. >Kyle

Respitory or bacterial infection of some kind, if mine were having trouble breathing I probably would call a vet, what kind of substrate are you using just so we do know? Eve

i use the white playground sand sold at toys r us. i've never had a problem with it before. i use it with my uromastyx too

I would have him looked at, he or she still having problems breathing?
