    Unhappy Ri???

    Well i think my bbp may have a R.I.. .. recently i have started to notice a cracling popping noise when i handle her... then at one point i saw her open up her mouth and leave it open for about 5 sec.. the popping noise happens about once every 2 to 3 minutes.? sound like an R.I???

    i know this sounds TERRIBLE but i just moved out and im on my own and im broke.. so i have no money to take her to the vet .. mayb for another 2 weeks... is there ANYTHING i can do to help this??? any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

    You can take her to a herp vet, ask if payment may be made at a later date... My vet has done this for others as their office is about the animals and not the money.

    Just remember if you make a promise... keep it.

    I suggest a vet visit...

    Put her on newspaper and raise the heat and humidity. Change her water everyday and the newspaper every other day. This should help but she does need a vet visit.

    95 or so, humidity 60-70, this will help loosen mucus and keep it loose until you get some antibiotics. Kinda like us using a humidifier.
