Bearded Dragon Throwing Up Clear Liquid? Here’s Why

If you’ve ever found your Bearded Dragon throwing up clear liquid, you might be wondering why this is happening and what you can do to help.

In this blog post, we’re going to explore some of the most common reasons why Bearded Dragons throw up clear liquid and what you can do to help your pet feel better.

Why Is My Bearded Dragon Throwing Up Clear Liquid?

If you’ve been watching your Bearded Dragon for a while and notice that they’re vomiting clear liquid, here are a few reasons why this could be happening:

– Your Bearded Dragon may be sick.

– They may have eaten something they shouldn’t have.

– They may have a foreign object lodged in their throat.

– Their digestive system may be malfunctioning.

If your Bearded Dragon is throwing up clear liquid, the first thing you should do is rule out any medical issues. If your dragon is vomiting and has no other signs of illness, there’s a good chance it ate something it shouldn’t have.

To determine what the problem may be, take a look at their diet. Did your dragon recently eat anything new? Are there any foreign objects in their enclosure (such as branch tips)? If so, remove them and see if that resolves the issue.

Finally, make sure their digestive system is functioning properly by following these steps:

– Give them plenty of water and food to eat.

– Make sure they’re getting enough exercise – both inside and outside of their enclosure.

– Check to see if they have a fecal exam (available at most pet stores). This will help identify any problems with their digestive system.

Digestion Problems

If your bearded dragon is throwing up clear liquid, it’s likely due to a digestive problem. Bearded dragons are susceptible to a number of different digestive problems, which can often be difficult to diagnose.

If you suspect that your bearded dragon has a problem with its digestion, the first step is to get it checked out by a veterinarian.

There are many things that can go wrong with their gut and oftentimes diagnosis requires an examination and testing. 

Dehydration

Bearded dragons can get dehydrated from not drinking enough water, or from losing too much water through diarrhea or vomiting. When a bearded dragon gets dehydrated, its body tries to rehydrate itself by throwing up the water it has stored in its system. This clear liquid is known as vomitus.

Dehydration can be fatal to a bearded dragon if not treated quickly. Be sure to keep your bearded dragon hydrated by providing plenty of fresh water and food, and monitoring its weight regularly.

Infections And Parasites

Bearded dragons are known for their impressive coat of scales, but they can also be susceptible to infections and parasites. Infections and parasites in bearded dragons can come from their food, water, or environment.

Infections and parasites that bearded dragon owners may encounter include bacteria such as:

Salmonella or Escherichia coli (E. coli), protozoa such as Giardia lamblia, worms such as Ancylostoma duodenale, and viruses such as measles or parvovirus B19.

Bearded dragon owners should always make sure that their bearded dragon has access to a clean water source and fresh food, as well as keep an eye out for any changes in the bearded dragon’s behavior that could indicate an infection or parasite is present.

If you think your bearded dragon may have an infection or parasite, it is important to take them to a veterinarian immediately for treatment.

Drinking Contaminated Water

Bearded dragons can get sick from drinking contaminated water. Contaminated water is water that has been tainted with pollutants, such as bacteria or heavy metals. When bearded dragons drink this type of water, they can become sick and even die.

If you know your bearded dragon is drinking from a source of contaminated water, there are a few things you can do to help them. First, try to filter the water yourself using a pitcher or jug with a good filter. Secondly, if you cannot filter the water yourself, make sure to give your bearded dragon fresh uncontaminated water at all times. And finally, if your bearded dragon becomes ill after drinking contaminated water, take them to the vet as soon as possible for treatment.

Overdrinking

Clear liquid vomit could be due to overdrinking, and bearded dragons can get sick from drinking too much water.

Salmonella

If you have a Bearded Dragon, be aware of the risk of Salmonella poisoning. Salmonella can cause your dragon to throw up clear liquid.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can be found in many things, so vigilance is important if you want to keep your dragon healthy.

Even if you have a clean home and your dragon never comes in contact with sick animals, Salmonella can still be a problem.

It is spread when food or water that is contaminated with the bacteria is eaten or drunk by someone else. If you think your dragon might have contracted Salmonella, bring them to the vet for a check-up as soon as possible!

They Ate Something They Shouldn’t Have

Bearded dragons are interesting creatures because they can eat anything that smells good. This means that they are susceptible to eating things that may be harmful to them.

If a bearded dragon has eaten something it shouldn’t have, it may end up throwing up. This is because their stomachs aren’t very well developed and they don’t know how to digest these kinds of foods. If you see your bearded dragon throwing up, don’t worry, just give it some water and it should be fine after a little bit.

If your bearded dragon doesn’t seem to be getting better, take it to a vet. They may need to give it an x-ray or perform some other test in order to figure out what the problem is.

To Sum Up

Bearded dragons are amazing pets that can bring a lot of joy to your life. However, they are also susceptible to a number of different health problems. If you think your bearded dragon is throwing up clear liquid due to any of the reasons we have discussed in this blog post, be sure to take them to the vet for a check-up.
