Frequently opening mouth?

[MDball0918]

I have an 07 female that I purchased a few months ago. She refused all attemps at feeding her and I figure this is probably because of breeding season. But lately I've noticed her opening her mouth quite frequently. I havent noticed any sqeaking or whistling when she breaths. Just hoping someone could inform me if this is normal or if I should be worried about something. Thanks

Sounds like an RI to me, to the vet!

Hold her head with one hand and use something to open her mouth that will not hurt her (pen with lid works)
When she opens her mouth look in and tell us if you see bubbles.
If so then raise your hot spot to over 95 but not higher than 100.
Then take her to the vet as soon as you get an appointment.
Check to make sure the vet is experienced with boids.

I didnt notice any bubbles but the bottom of her neck right behind her head seems a bit swollen.
