My 9 month old 6'6" Burmese is wheezing!!! I'm real scared and need to know what to do? Is this upper respiratory infection? Please tell me if i should rush to the vet or what?

Before I would rush to the vet I would try to raise the temps and the humidity. I recently had a R.I. with one of my burms and she was wheezing and had crusty nostrils. I raised the humidity by misting several times a day and wetting the newspaper I use as substrate. I only wetted the paper under her heat lamp and the evaporation creates a nice humidity level with in the cage. I would try this before I would go to the vet. Just a suggestions and I hope your burm gets better. Todd

Thanks a lot for the help, it kinda calmed me donw. So you dont think it's as big as emergency as I first thought? I'll raise the temps and humidity and post with updates thanks...
