Re: Help!! Sick ball?
I'm not a vet but those are classic signs of a respitory infection. You definately need to get him in to see a vet. Until then raising the temps and changing his water everyday will help.

Re: Help!! Sick ball?
Yeah, what Fatboy said..... He's gotta get to a vet soon, RIs are nasty things and he'll need medication to get over that.

Re: Help!! Sick ball?
What are you housing him in? Temps, how you control the heating sources, what you feed and how often. Give us the details.

Make sure your humidity is bumped up too until you take him to the vet. Heat & humidity are needed to fight off an RI infection.

Do give these details to make sure you don't have to deal with this again. You caught it early and things should be ok. Keep us updated.

Re: Help!! Sick ball?
I just got back from the vet and have medication to give her (yup its a girl) every day. It appears to be an upper respiratory infection, and hopefully has not traveled downwards yet. The cause is still unknown, the vet suggested it might be from the frozen feeders. The air temperature is near 80 and the humidity is about 65....I've just changed the tank around to try and increase both. I took out the aspen shavings to decrease the dust until she's better.
It was nice to be reassured from the vet, and thank you to everyone for the advice! I really appreciate it all!

Do you have a proper warm spot of 90-95 degrees?
That is very needed, especially with an RI.
