Breathing strange??

[KristineM]

Can someone please look at this and let me know if he's ok? I've never seen him breath like this. I can't upload the video to my photo bucket for some reason so I hope this link works:

So...he stopped doing that. He did it for 20 minutes though and I've never seen it before. Nearly gave me a heart attack.

Then I saw these...skin from his nostrils? He's having a hard time getting them out. I'm wondering if this is one of those things we let him do? Or help him out? Sorry for all the posts. I just want to share as much info as possible.

Seems to me like he is just trying to shed his nostrils, especially if he hasn't done it since getting the skin out.

First of all...he has been through around 5 sheds since we had him and I had NO idea they shed the inside of their nostrils!!! I have 2 children and this is what it felt like when they were first born too, haha! It's crazy how freaked out I got. I thought he was choking or something. Thanks for your opinion and I think you're right. My husband rubbed his nose with a q tip really softly and he was back to normal. No stress marks and no crazy breathing or puffing up.

I feel like I should apologize for the panic but I really was that scared at the time Thanks again!!
