ticking sound

[zaheer3000]

hi guys

only today i noticked a slight ticking sound coming from my dragon when she breathes. is it by no means regular but there is a sound there for sure. could this be the early signs of a respitory infection? her housing is spot on. she is still eating but her eating has slowed down but for my dragon that behaviour is normal as she does that at this time of year for brumation. she will be 4 in Novemeber. anything to be worried about? also we do not have any decent rep vets here in the uk. the last time by beardie was ill my vet gave me a load of rubbish information and my beardie almost died. he even diagnosed her with eggs when actually she had a pooh plug build up. oh and this vet was recommeded to me as the one to see for reptiles here in London UK. he is also an hour and a half away. what treatment should i be looking for if there is something to be concerned about?

thank you

Zaheer. You can raise those temps up a tad, you keep her around 105 yes ?
Try raising that to say 108-110.  Keep abserving her, for other signs that respitory might be setting in.

Keep in mind, with raised temps, she'll want more moisture in her diet.
I hope this helps.
