My juvenile (I think she's a little under a year maybe) female uromastyx geyri is exhibiting some behavior that has be concerned. I've been hearing a squeeky sound like....the only thing I can think of is pushing peach guts into an empty glass.....that kind of sound.....coming from her cage but I never get there in time to see what it is. Well I just did.....she seems to be vomitting and shaking violently. A little water or goo just came out. It wasn't too thick and there only a little. She's fat and currently eating dandelion greens, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, green bell pepper, bean sprouts, yellow squash, yellow hibiscus and allysum. I think it's the romaine because the noise started happening a little after I started using it. She's wc and lives with another wc male about an inch smaller than her. I tried to get a closer inspection but she scurried into one of her hides. I could get her out but I wouldn't want to add stress if she's in trouble. I'll be calling the vets soon but before that can anyone tell me what might be wrong with her? Thanks sooo much for any info

Yeah, the romaine might be upsetting her. Is everything you buy organic? Because pesticides could be making her sick.

I buy everything sept the flowers at the grocery store and wash everything multiple times when preparing the food.
For now I'd get some Flukers Omnivore Medicine and give that to her. It helps sick uromastyx, and it delivers the nutrients that she needs. If that helps and she doesnt do it anymore slowly start her back on foods. But do the foods seperate. Only give her like mustard greens one day and if she doesn't do that, try the next food you listed. DO NOT GIVE HER ROMAINE if you think that's what's causing it. Do that and if she acts fine then it is definetley the Romaine lettuce. That's all I can tell you for now.
