Have you ever heard your Red Ackie, Iguana or other type of pet lizard let out a slight high pitched sneeze or cough? If it’s rarely or once every few weeks or so then it’s really nothing to be too concerned with. In some cases, a sneeze or cough is in response to a tickle in the throat or an irritant in the nose. Sometimes lizards can get debris in their nose requiring a sneeze to get it out or a cough. You should also check the temperature in your lizard’s habitat in case it needs to be adjusted. If you’re not sure what the temperature should be consult with your vet, pet store associate, or online resources. However, if the sneeze is followed by a cough or what looks like a yawn and it starts to happen more and more, please call your veterinary clinic Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to schedule a checkup.
