    What did i do wrong!

    well just right now i opened my tub in which i have a normal in and i can clearly hear wheezing. i know what it is and i hate this happening to me. but the thing that i dont get is how did she get it. i had her for almost two years now in the same enclosure a 41 quart tub she is 2000+ grams. her hot spot is 92 and her cold end is from 81 to 83 throughout the day. i had never had problems with her. plus just yesterday i was holding her for about 10 min and each time i hold them i make sure they are ok i swear i could not hear popping or wheezing and now like 2 hours ago i checked on her and what do i hear a clearly hearable noise. does any one know how this happened thanks.

    Could it be some stuck shed in her nostrils?

    it isnt happening to you,its happening to her.your not making those noises silly.

    it might not be an ri.could be a shed coming on and there is some loose skin loosening up or whatever in the nostrils.that happens sometimes.she might even start stretching her jaws making you think shes yawning for some air.

    im no pro but ive read this happening alot.

    when was her last shed?

    Bump up her temp a little to 94, and keep a watchful eye on her, if you still hear the popping a vet visit may be in order.
