Beardie acting like she's "choking"

[derbydragon77]

She's been doing this for a couple days. She's eating fine and I've been able to handle her but I'm concerened. She seems active and has been basking as well as moving around. This is a video I got of her doing this.

I can't view the video, but my default for issues like this is to schedule with an experienced exotics vet. Respiratory infections are potentially serious, and some issues look like RIs but are completely unrelated. Best to have a good vet take a look and get your baby fixed up.

Sounded like a bit of a wheeze. I hope I'm wrong. My Charlie does this from time to time when he's stretching his beard out but no noise comes out. Please keep us informed.

I can't view the video either. Sometimes they look like they are choking when they puff up their beards for a stretch, especially when shedding. If there is a noise coming out of them, a cough, click or wheeze, get her to a vet to be tested for a RI.

Definitely sounds like a wheeze/clicky noise, I would be heading to the vets asap if that was my girl. Hope all is well with her x

Looks like my girl got an RI, have her on meds now and increased her temps. Now monitoring her humidity levels to determine the cause.

I'm so glad you got her to the vets, good luck with the course of antibiotics. Hopefully your girl bounces back fast x

Glad you got her on the mend. RI's are usually caused by low temps and high humidity so just make sure your temps are spot on and she should be good.
