Phyllis's pushing the last two days has been intense. Totally trashed her cage twice, spilled water everywhere, wrecked the joint. I noticed earlier when I was cleaning it all up that she's actually got a very slightly swollen upper right lip and it's causing her to whistle a little bit. No other sign of RI and she's always been a bit of a vocal breather.
I did choose to minimize her cage furniture so she doesn't have as much stuff to brace her body against for pushing leverage. I felt bad taking her branch away because she generally sleeps behind it, but she's using it to beat up her face and had a couple rough scales that seemed to be scratched by something in the cage so I guessed it was the branch.
She's still got some stuff to play with though. I took bcr suggestion from another thread to give her some crumpled packing paper to push around. It seems to be working so far tonight! Not too restless in the cage but still active and poking around at the paper rather than the center support of the cage, which is good.
Granted I did have her out for half an hour before to let her climb all over the stairs and work off some energy, so that might account for her being calmer in the cage. I think the added floor space is also nice for her. Need her t25 to be done asap!
