Hey guys so my beardie journey was sick we took her to the vet and got her better but anyways we were giving her, her dinner and noticed her drinking (gulping like) everything I have read says beardies don't do that any clarification would be appreciated, I will be awaiting your wonderful comments. Thank you in advance.

If your dragon is gulping she was really thirsty and dehydrated - please do not let her do that -- you need to slow her down by pulling her away -- its possible for her to aspirate and you dont want that -- you can slowly give her water by dropping water on her nose or w/a eye dropper - you can rinse her greens before serving and she will get moisture thru them and also make sure your gut loading the insects she will get moisture from them as well -- is she on any kind of meds now ? If so please keep her hydrated meds will dry them out

What illness did she have? Some health issues can lead to dehydration.
