Odd Respiratory Infection Presentation?

[bcr229]

She was classified as "Black Pewter" by the breeder. I'm not sure if that has black pastel in it. Do black pastels have difficulty breathing?

Black pewter is black pastel + pastel.

Black pastel morphs can sometimes have a "whistle" when they breathe. I have a few with it and while you don't hear it while they're resting, if they are stressed, excited, moving, etc. and breathing harder it becomes apparent.

IMO it's related to the super form sometimes having duck-billing problems - but that's just my opinion, and it's why I won't try to make super black pastels or 8-balls from the ones I have in my collection.
