She has started opening her mouth wide and exhaling fairly frequently. About once a minute I'd say. Every time she does this, a "spit bubble" looking thing comes forth. She also has a slimy looking discharge at both corners of her mouth. I have no idea what this is... She seems to be acting normal otherwise. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Sounds serious. I've only seen my dragon once have a spit bubble on his mouth. Wasnt sure what it was so I popped it, however he never had the other symptons you mentioned. Could be high humidity in the terranium? Mine hovers around 40% which I hear is normal. Hope your dragon feels better!

Humidity is in the mid 30s. It shouldn't be that.

It sounds like a possible respiratory infection. Only a vet can diagnose and treat it, though. She should be seen asap.

Poor thing... First worms, now maybe a repiratory infection. I will call the vet in the morning.

I called my vet, apparently the reptile vet is out all week (of course...) They referred me somewhere else, who said they don't treat reptiles. They referred me to a third place, and the soonest they can see her is Friday. Is there anything I can do for her until then? I hate having to wait so long.

Up the basking temps to say 110-115*F. Watch for dehydration and act accordingly. I would also, do a deep cleaning in her enclosure.. can't hurt.
Hope this helps, and hope all goes well... Good luck.

I dunno if upping the basking temps will help, as she has not been basking lately. She has been choosing to hang around 92*F temps. I dunno if this is from the worms she has had, the medication I gave her not long ago to kill them, her current RI, or what...

Hope this helps.
