My bearded dragon took a spill last night and fractured a vertebrae in his tail. I took him to an emergency vet who made sure he was stable and did x-rays. Those were sent off to a zoo exotics vet who confirmed the fracture. I then took him to his primary reptile vet who did a full exam and confirmed the same thing. My problem is, he keeps opening and closing his mouth every 5 seconds since it happened and smooshing his face into the blankets. I'm concerned about his breathing and his primary vet said his breathing is shallow but no one is doing anything about it. Said maybe he is opening his mouth because he is in pain but really didn't know. All 3 vets said this. He is on an anti inflammatory and a pain medication as of about 5 hours ago that I thought would help but he's just wide awake doing this non stop. He's been up for 24 hours and I have been up with him watching him extremely concerned. Has anyone been through anything similar? This guy is my entire world.
