ox Jul 25, 2003 05:58 PM

My one year old albino burm had the bottom of her face swollen when I touch it liquid came out it is clear and from what I read on the archived files liquid is ussually yellow. Her enclosure temps are 89 and humidity is 82 she had this before about a month ago and there was no problem.

SHe had a rabbit yesterday with no problem.

After eating a large meal, the bottom lip of the burmese is often stretched out and "loose" for up to several days. Spittle or even rabbit urine could collect and remain in this loose area. So try to not be concerned. Symptoms of RI would be more of coughing and wheezing, sudden lurching and heaving of the body, the body in the first half often being raised off of the ground, and expelling large quantities of creamy mucus.
