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?

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

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
