Question
My 5 yr old brother dropped our lizzard and he is now squeeking sometimes when he breathes...what could be wrong with him?

Answer
Hi Nicole. I think that it's probably a good idea to have your lizard looked at by a good herp vet. I have looked through all my resources, and the only thing I have found for squeaking, is related to respiratory distress. It is possible that internal damage was done when he was dropped, and he might need a vet's care to get better. I hope he is okay! Thanks! Nicole
