    Possible respiratory infection...?

    Hey all,

    I have a 4 year old JCP that is always a bit hissy when I take him out of his cage and when I handle him. He breathes out quite loudly when handled, thus creating a wheezing sound when I do so. He's always been like this, and I've never seen any fluid or bubbles coming from his mouth or nostrils.

    I don't hear the wheezing when he's in his cage, only when I'm handling him.

    Is this RI? Something else? Or is it just because he's hissy when he comes out? Or is it because I'm paranoid?

    Thanks!
    MH
