Breathing Issues

[M0th3roFDrag0ns]

this is my last resort - two reptile vets have told me they have no idea what is wrong. My youngest female, Cupcake, began doing this weird deep breathing burp-like gasp two weeks ago. Ultrasound was clear. X-ray was clear. Eyes and nose are clear. She’s not eating and the frequency of the gasping is increasing. She eats a great beardie diet, has a weekly bath, has heat and uva and uvb. She’s very well cared for and the vets say that she is perfectly healthy. But I know my beardie and something is wrong. Any advice?!

oh the poor dragon, there is obviously something wrong I would find a different reptile vet. that looks like a respiratory infection beginning to take hold. medication can help if that is what it is. does he do it when your not holding him up?

That’s what I think too. She does it all the time, no matter how she’s laying or being held. We’ve talked to two vets. I don’t understand why they aren’t listening to me. I’m going to request that they give me antibiotics for her.
