    She looks awesome!

    Yeah, I see the bubble. A mouth infection that severe could easily cause a minor RI. If that's the case I wouldn't worry as long as she's not gaping or wheezing. As the mouth infection clears and she gets healthier that'll probably stop happening. Sometimes a bump in temps can boost their immune system.

    It doesn't sound like she's wheezing necessarily, though maybe you would consider it to be a wheeze, but it sounds like when you have a cold and your throat is all gunked up so when you breathe out it kind of sounds like a gargle? It's difficult to explain, and I don't really hear it prior to applying the betadine, only occasionally. I also don't really observe her much, I go in and apply the betadine, checking her out in the process. So for all I know, it could be the betadine. She'll sometimes have her mouth slightly open, but I don't recall seeing that prior to applying the betadine, so that could also be due to the betadine not being too yummy, or a sore mouth.

    I also have no way of bumping up her temps, I would like to. If I had an extra tank I would put her in it and put a mostly not-needed heat lamp over her.

    She has been declared mine, and I can do what I want with her! Time to find her a home where she can get the care she NEEDS to rid her of the mouthrot and RI!

    Thanks guys. c: I need to find her a new home ASAP! She hasn't eaten in a couple months, and though the mouthrot is MUCH better, it is still there. As well as the RI. So I think it is quite crucial that she goes to someone who can afford to take care of her! If you know of anybody in the Peterborough area in Ontario, Canada (awkward giving my location to people on the internet!) who is willing to take her: Please let me know! She may be declared mine, and I can do what I please with her now, but she is still in her current living conditions. I have nothing to come with her, except a couple fuzzies that I've been attempting to feed her with. But as long as she has the mouthrot and that RI, she won't eat.

    i just read this whole thing and i'm amazed by your dedication to an animal in need. i really hope you find her a home. i would take her if i could (i live in the states), believe me. if there's a donation or anything happening for you, i would gladly help out with what i can. again, you are amazing.
