HELP---GASPING--PLEA

PLEASE ADVISE----
Adonis just shed the corners of his lips---and nose.
he keeps on puffing his beard--then a puff of breath is forced out--and he gasps in
after he puffs his beard he opens his mouth like he cant breath...
because it is followed by a puff of breath or smacking like sound.

please help---is he chocking?

HE SOMETIMES LETS OUT A LOT OF BREATH BEFORE PUFFING UP AGAIN.

I don’t know what he’s doing but if you thought your child was choking would you not rush them to the Doctor? I know that my dragons swallow air and it looks funny. It’s to puff up there body before they shed. I was worried the first time watching it.... I don’t know for sure thought but when in doubt or emergency get it to a vet FAST.

Rex,my new bearded did that for a day or to when i got him but i don’t think it was quite like what yours is doing he would suddenly open his mouth and puff up his beard kinda like he was sneezing.

Yeah but, better safe than sorry! I lost Paris last week due to a respitory infection. She showed same signs, gasping, burping, and rubbing her face on stuff. But when getting ready to go to the Vet I picked her up to find she passed during the night. I would get it checked out! God Bless Paris R.I.P

I miss you
