My female Mojo just laid eggs on July 14th and has been showing some odd symptoms since the day of laying. It sounds like it could be RI but I'm not positive. She's been breathing out and puffing her throat and almost making a popping/"cough" like action. She did this the whole time during laying, breathing out heavy and making a "cough" like sound which seemed to coincide with her laying but now she's stopped the heavy breathing and is still doing the same "coughing" symptom. She's whistling a bit when picked up but she's got no signs of mucus or bubbles coming from her nostrils or mouth. She just shed and temps are good. There's been no changes to the enclosure (other than removing the eggs and cleaning it out), there are a lot of mixed opinions on whether to raise or lower humidity if it is indeed RI. However if it is RI then wouldn't raising the humidity and thinning the mucus out be the most beneficial instead of trying to dry out the mucus and causing it to become lodged? She ate yesterday and looks great and is acting normal otherwise. She's not lifting her head or stretching out her neck like common signs of RI. Any opinions would help, I don't want to start loading her up with meds if it's not necessary. It seems to be that her recent lay just caused a bit of stress and thus these symptoms. Thanks in advance for your help.
