Random squeaking

[mackynz]

So whenever I hold Loki I end up hearing a squeak noise when he is breathing. It will only happen a few times when I hold him and it is pretty quiet. I haven't seen any other signs of an RI but I'm paranoid. He has been this way since I got him over a month ago. Would you take him to the vet?


I am using a modified tank (to hold humidity) aspen bedding, two identical hides, water dish, UTH (on a rheostat checked like 90 times a day until I get a thermostat. Accurite thermometer to measure temp an humidity. 90F hot spot, ambient 81F, humidity 62%

I'd personally go to the vet. Boo was wheezing awhile ago. I saw no other signs of an ri, but yep, he had one. He's almost done antibiotics.

It's cheaper to take him in now then to wait to see more symptoms. IMO

It might also be worth pointing out that s small piece of loose or stuck shed in the nostril will cause a squeaking/whistling noise. I would not be surprised if the noise goes away with the next shed. If the noise persists, or you notice other RI symptoms then you should see a vet. Even if it is an RI, it is its very early stages. If you are looking out for it and treat it quickly it shouldn't become a problem.

He has shed once since I got him and it didn't go away

I think I'll take him in, better safe than sorry.
