Well, my bigger cp was wheezing quite a lot, sneezing, rubbing her face against everything, not eating, and she also had mucous coming out of her mouth. My smaller one was also rubbing her head against surfaces and exhibiting open-mouth breathing. Also, she was an excellent feeder (she is still supposed to be on pinkies but went straight for my other snakes' fuzzies and munched them all when I first got her!) and suddenly refused to eat, which really isn't like her as she's terribly greedy! The vet confirmed that they both had fluid in the back of their mouths, indicating RI.Originally Posted by kzooherpetoculturist
here's a question, what makes you think they have an RI?
if it's just because they're whistling then they're probably just being carpets... all mine do this and it is well documented that they will make a noise from time to time that many people (including vets) fear is the first symptoms of an RI. obviously its not good to give antiobiotics when they arent needed so i'd tread carefully there.
if i'm way off from your current situation then just disregard
I was a bit worried about giving them antibiotics as some of my friends say it hasn't worked for them and it can have side effects. However I'm trusting the vet in this case
