I'm a bit concerned here.
My AC/Heater unit went out. So I struggled the past few days to keep him warm. One night, his temp went down to 55 degrees despite the CHE at the foot of his bed. I should have had it over him. So I went ahead and hurried up to heat him up. I used body heat combination to warm him up.
Now, I'm concerned because I noticed that he was 'gaping' while sleeping. I put him in his bed, under a well warmed up CHE. I don't know if this is a sign of an RI or he was hot and was thermoregulating after spending the rest of the day basking under his heat lamp.
I don't have any photos of his gaping. I do tend to be a little warmer than usual because of hot flashes or I'm just very warm blooded with a lot of heart.
I just don't know if this is a cause for concern.
He acts normal. Today, he didn't want to eat. Drank a little water. But did not aspirate any.
