She fell off the couch and since that happened she randomly opens her mouth like she’s swallowing. She tries to flair up but can’t. When she goes to walk the right side of her head seems to be heavy for her
It sounds like your reptile is experiencing some significant issues following the fall. The symptoms could indicate a serious problem, possibly related to trauma from the fall. The behavior of opening her mouth as if swallowing and struggling to move her head properly could be signs of pain or neurological issues.
First, ensure her habitat is warm and quiet to reduce stress. Proper temperature and humidity are crucial for reptiles, so make sure these are within the appropriate range for her species.
Next, keep her hydrated by misting her enclosure or offering water through a shallow dish. Dehydration can worsen her condition, so maintaining adequate hydration is essential.
Additionally, keep a close eye on her behavior and symptoms. Note any changes or worsening of her condition.
Given the severity of her symptoms and the fact that they have persisted for a couple of days, it's crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. The fall may have caused internal injuries or other complications that need professional attention.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
