My BP has an RI right now. I don't know why there are so few articles or caresheets on the subject, but it would be great to find a detailed one on identifying and treating RI's. Anyways, I was cleaning a tub and I heard what sounded like a congested sniffle. I knew what it was and checked my girls mouths. One of my girls had bubbles on the side of her mouth so I immediately isolated her in my walk-in closet. I shut the vent in the closet, put her in a 32q tub (she is usually in a 41q tub), and attached two UTH heaters under the tub. I attached my spare Herpstat thermostat and set it to 96*, which keeps the temp surface IN the tub at 92*. Basically, almost the entire tub is at 92*. I wash her water everyday and clean her tub with 10% bleach solution every 3-4 days. When I pull her out to clean the tub, I put her in a pillow case and I wash that every day or every other day. I plan on buidling a small quarentine rack very soon.
