My savanna monitor is lethargic and her nose is runny. occasionally opens mouth and licks all over face. HELP!

Question

I know she is sick, but i'm not sure what she has. She is 2 years old and has been fine up till now. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

my black throat monitor went through the same thing a couple of months ago, after three days or so it passed.  I had him schedualed to go to the vet, but then he just stopped.  he is fine now, just keep an eye on your lizard, sounds like it just has a cold.  Yes it happens, if you are really concerned then take it to the vet otherwise just let it run it's course.

Answer 2

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection...very serious.  She really needs to see an experienced herp vet right away.   You really need to check her setup for correct heat/light/humidity...anything not right will lead to illness.

Please scheduale an appointment with your vet ASAP, it may be a respatory infection witch can be taken care of fairley easily if taken care of early if you let it go and it is a respatory infection your monitor will most likely die. Please dont wait and see if it passes take it to vet.
