The bubbling in that video is not like what I am seeing. I did manage to get his mouth open today and he does have some bubbles in the way back of his throat so I think this isn't a very advanced case (I'm hoping anyways). The trip to the vet will be able to tell me for sure thouhg.

low humidity can cause problems like ri, I think he talks a little about it here. here's a link to blog radio with dr scott stahl one of the best exotic vets in the U.S.

So I took him to the vet this morning.

The vet thinks he may have an early bacterial RI and gave him an injection of convenia antibiotic. If this doesn't clear it up within a week the vet is going to give me a different antibiotic to try. If none of that works we will run a bunch of tests to determine what type of infection it is. The vet said it was early enough that we had time to try to treat it with antibiotics before testing for different fungal and bacterial infections. His breathing sounds find and his air way doesn't seem irritated.
