looking for a non-vet diagnosis

dragonjustice Oct 24, 2006 10:02 AM

Greetings
My bf and I have 3 adult red-tails presently housed together. One is showing the mucus of a respiratory infection. Additionally all three have red spots on their gums (the one with the mucus more so), and all have pink/red ventral scales.
They all ate recently and only the one with the mucus (so far) is at all wheezy. Obviously they all need a vet, but does anyone know what the red spots and the red scales are symptoms of? Also, does anyone know of rescues or of interested individuals in the Baltimore/DC area? We love our babies, but our housing is transitional and may continue to be for longer than our babies can survive it. And winter is coming.
Any help on any of this would be appreciated.
