Hey- I'm not really sure what to do. I think he may of been too cold last night. It was around 68 degrees. Please tell me what to do. I'm on vacation, and a vet isn't possible at the moment. Thanks, Brooks

Hey guys- I'm really worried. I think my three month old Redfoot has a cold. He's wet around his mouth and legs, and making sneezing noises.

if you haven't changed substrates (some make them sneezy/runny)
then jack your temp up a bit (maybe 5-10 degrees what you used)
for now and keep him warm for now

have you got him with you on vacation? Maybe something in the
new place is bothering him - smoking, cleaning agents,something
like that?

Do you think a visit to the vet would be necessary later? Thanks, Brooks

if he doesn't improve. How long are you going to be gone on
vacation? Does your vet require advanced appointments - shouldn't
if you get home and it's an "emergency". Check his environment
if he's with you in a hotel or condo, he may be a bit sneezy
from something there. I'm sure he's not in the same humidity
he's used to. Heck even the waters different (ph) maybe.
I wouldn't panic right now, 68 isn't THAT cold even for a
redfoot baby. Unless he was in a draft and wet which I doubt.
