respiratory infection

Justin Stricklin Jan 26, 2004 09:49 PM

My babt sulcatta has a mild respiratory infection. it's nose is just stopped up. Reason it does is that when I got it last saturday at a show It was cold and I guess the trips to and from the truck did it. I figured it would have been passed by now but it hasn't. It is better than it was but still breaths with its mouth open. Other than this it eats and evry thing great. My question is what else can I do to help it get better. I have a hot spot at 87 deggrees and the cool spot is about 80.

When they start breathing with the mouth open a vet is your best course of action.
