She has upper respiratory, as a bare miniumum check her temps and make sure that the temps are around 80 degrees and keep it there. If it is minor this may help allow her to work thru it herself. The safest thing would be to take her to a vet and have her medicated. Realize that even with treatment if you do not identify and correct the husbandry problems that caused the problem, it will reoccur. A minor bout of U.R. is not a big deal unless it is allowed to persist and the husbandry problems are not corrected. This is a fairly common problem this time of the year and not a big deal unlss it is ignored.

Good Luck
