Sick Beardie?

burmaboy Sep 24, 2004 10:01 PM

My juvenile beardie was seen sort of gasping tonight,with open mouth, and a gurgling sound was being made.
Respiratory infection? And if so, what is the treatment?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Definitely sounds like a Resp infection of some kind.

Dragons as most lizards will hang their mouths open while basking at times called (Gaping) just to cool, like a dog that pants.

BUT.. whenever they do it and you hear a gurgling, or any wheezing type sounds, DON'T even hesitate call a Vet, its an emergency.

I sure hope your guy will be okay, please let us know,
