Hello Im really new both to the reptile world and to the forum.
So i got this adult bearded dragon 2 weeks ago which the breeder told me is 2 years old, and its eyes aare kinda stuck due to shedding. I named him Titan and now Titan seems to be having RI as I've noticed small bubbles on his nose at times and he would gasp. Sometimes wheezing can be heard too. Had him brought to the vet yesterday and he gave us some vitamins as he said injections would be very stressful for Titan. He told us to come back again for the injection if the vitamins didnt work. Today i fed him the vitamins with syringe. He only ate a cricket after taking his vitamins but a while later he threw up. Then again, he hasnt been eating much lately.. Why did he threw up n what do i do? Im worried sick!

I would get a second opinion. A URI needs to be treated with antibiotics, and if left for too long can become serious.

Make sure your basking temp is the right temperature. For an adult bearded dragon it should be around 95-98 degrees. Since he has a respiratory infection, I would even bump it up to 100/102. The eyes might not be stuck do to shedding, if there are bubbles coming out of his nose, most likely they are coming out of his eyes too and could possibly be crusting up in his eyes.
