If your temps and humidity are correct you should not have to worry about RI, but if you have any doubt you should take your Retic to vet as soon as possible. RI can be treated very easly but if it goes on for to long without treatment you could lose your animal very quickly. Big Jim

Yeah I don't belive its an RI However she is still almost like barking, Im not sure its just something shes never done and all of a sudden it was just the weirdest sound ive ever heard her make.
