    my beardie throwing up water
    wow it has been forever, anyway my berdie of about 2 years has been doing fine unto till a few weeks ago, everytime she drinks she throws up and shakes her head, the vet gave here a good look and said i nothing was wrong with her, i dont know whats wrong, all the temops and everytinh has been the same the past years.. 40 gallon breeder. 100-105 fro basking, ambaint 95, and cool end 82-86, she seems fine and this doesn't bother her normal basking and living. she eats fine. but it is scary and emotional for me to see my animal dong this. i give her a bath twice a week and she seems thristy but i try to limity her water entake to just absorbing.

    ps, yes i have MVB and use calcium and herpatavite dust, as told so back in the day. not a noob at it, just worried about my baby.

    I've seen lizards throw up before.. it's kind of violent and scary the way they shake their heads.

    I had a crested gecko rescue that was underfed and SKINNY, and every now and then he would eat too much and puke. I had to be careful and monitor his food intake per feeding to make sure he kept it all down. After some months he got better and stopped puking.

    I assume however that your beardie isn't overconsuming water because of long-term dehydration and neglect.. that one is a real head scratcher.

    I'd suggest do what you're doing, limit most of her water intake through absorption, and give regular baths.

    Re: my beardie throwing up water
    Also salad has a lot of water in it, so even if she can't hold the water down shes getting a little bit of water from somewhere. The only reason I wouldn't think anything was wrong is "normally" if something can hold food down water should not be a problem at all "normally" its the other way around when they are sick, cant hold food down but can drink a little. But im not a vet thats just my 2 cents. .. if the vet says shes good, id just let it be... unless she starts to physically deteriorate, then id take her back

    Re: my beardie throwing up water
    I have one beardie that does it everyone once in a while usually when she has a bath. It is almost like they drink to fast and get hitcups and expell water because of it. It doesn't seem to have any ill effects but deffinetly scary to witness...

    That just sounds really like something to me. I mean there are some beardie veterens here but you might want to ask a well known breeder as well. It just does not sound right. I was wondering (and this is me totally guessing) if she is starting to get an RI??

    Are you giving her water at room temps...or are you giving her cold water. I would think that cold water might not stay down to shocking for her system. I dont know....but I would definetly get a second opinion.

    yea luke wam, and added warm water when it gets cold, i may call a vet or aske a breeder, didn't think about breeder. all the other vets are far away so its not easy to get to, i gave her a 2 small baths last night and she licked the mist from my hand, to my it was precious, anyway lol no throw up, i think i will try it this way, mabye 2 mini baths a day. for while

    Please let me know what they say...this is very interesting but even though she is not doing it with licking drops please follow thru....it just sounds really bad.

    I will try to contact some of my breeder friends and see what they say as well.

    Just a thought......do you have well water or city water? If city water, they could have made a change in something they use at the treatment plant to purify the water, which isn't agreeing with her. If you have well water, that is affected by rain and the lack of rain, as far as mineral content and such. I have well water, and it tastes different if we've had rain or not. And then, of course, if you're using bottled water, then that's different.

    Like the last person said... Let your dragon get it's fluid from absortion through the vent. I wouln't even keep water in it's cage but, that is just me. I would soak every day at the same time for about 15 minutes of course emptying the contents after a Bowel Movement. Make sure the water is not hot but, hot enough. you don't want it to cool either.
