guh, RI.
I can hear Brutus breathing from clear across the room. He was being a little nasal last week, but he was in blue so I didn't want to bother him.. Plus, I figured he might have some skin stuck in his nose. He shed yesterday, though, and it's only gotten worse.
Calling right now to make a vet appt, but is there anything I can do to help him out until then?

Re: guh, RI.
When I called the vet about Gabe the other night, they initially thought it was an RI. They suggested soaking him in warm water.

Re: guh, RI.
Let him soak in warm water for about 30-40 minutes. It will help loosen the mucus in his lungs and help him to breath a bit better. Also will help rehydrate him if he is dehydrated. Change out water when needed and re fill with warm.

Raise your temps a few degrees and raise your humidity as well.
Good luck with him.

Monitor the temperature of the water to make sure it doesnt get too cool. I would start it at about 95 degrees
