Does my ball have a Respiratory Infection?
I just recently picked up an albino female about 3 weeks ago from garrick demeyer, and she's been doing completely fine until 2 days ago. At first she was breathing like she had a cold when i had her out, but that stopped immediately after i put her back in her enclosure, then randomly hissing (for like 1 second each time) as i'm on my laptop away from her. I asked garrick about it and he told me she's probably just stressed and should be fine. Her belly has also been pink for like a week or 2, so maybe she's going into shed? I'm a bit worried and ill take her to the vet if it's completely necessary (i don't have much $ atm); I heard balls that are sick with RI usually don't eat... but i gave her a small mouse today and she ate it right away. wat do u guys think? does she have RI or no?
Garrick also said if she's not foaming or drooling from her mouth or nose, she's completely fine. And so far, i've seen none of these signs.
