when i first got my hogg she had a slight wheeze. i made a post about that here on this site and it was recommended to turn up the heat a little. at this time she was also not eating, refused 3 meals and last ate approximately 3 weeks before i purchased her. her wheeze went away and she has eaten twice in the last two weeks. she has become extremely active since eating, went approximately a month and a half not eating. the person i purchased her from said she has not had any health problems ever. today i took her out of her cage and for the first time in a few weeks i heard a wheezing again. the wheeze did go away before and i lowered the temps just a few degrees, 92 on warm low 80's on the cool.
could this be an RI or am i just doing something wrong. i cannot find any discharge anywhere and she seems very healthy. could she just be breathing heavy and this is the was she sounds sometimes?
any advised would be great. thanks
