Signs of a Respiratory Infection-RI
having problems breathing
gaping more then normal
mucus around their mouth and/or nose
puffing their beard and/or throat more then normal
Causes of an RI,
low temperatures, high humidity, and/or not the correct housing.
Respiratory infections can cause problems and in some cases if really bad can kill your beardie. The best thing to do is get them to a vet and have the vet check your beardie out and if its found that they do have an RI, the vet will prescribe an antibiotic to try and take care of it. In bad cases of RI, it might take a couple rounds of antibiotics or stronger ones to clear it up. It is best to keep your beardie a little warmer at night then normal to help with the RI.
