    Re: Audible breathing?

    The only time I heard my BP breathing was when he had a respiratory infection. Since you only hear it when she eats, it sounds like her glottis could be partially blocked. I'd take her to the vet. Treatment is much easier and more effective if you catch it early. I took my BP at the first sign and all I had to do was replace his heat mat with a larger one.
