help my leo has water aspiration i dont know what to do

hey i have a leo who is 3 she was getting a bath and slipped dunking her nose into the water she didnt react as much as i thought but her nose makes a clicking kinda sputtering sound when she breaths, i dont know if it was a lot to harm her but if there still some. should i take her to the vet or what should i do? Plz help i had my pet club bearded dragon who had this ( he drank the water to fast)and barely survived he was class as a drown patient at the vet!

A clicking sound when breathing is likely water that she did aspirate. It could possibly lead to an upper respiratory infection.
I would let her alone for a few days and listen if the clicking gets better or worse. If it gets worse, it's time for the vet.
If water is in her lungs, unfortunately there's no way to get it out. Just allow her time to rest.
 
Thx so much i left her alone and as from today she not clicking anymore i think she is fine i ll still see if she may get RI but i think she is fine thanks for ur help i sometimes worry exspecially seeing our pet club beardie get it i couldnt imagine how to help a petit gecko like her.
