Choking potentially

Morton
Morty 11 months F was being syringe fed and 2 minutes after started showing mild symptoms of choking. Makes that resporatory infection / airy choking sound every few minutes. Beard isnt puffed. Tilted her upside down a bit but when she goes back upright will randomly make the joise again.

Room has high humidity today (40-60 which is not normal dw) and we’re gonna get a dehumidifier tomorrow morning ASAP

Currently 10pm when posting this so vets not really an option rn

Hello,

Sorry Morty is having some trouble. It sounds like to me, that she may have aspirated some of the
fluids from being syringe fed. This happens quite often.
Keep her on a slight decline at night, in case she has fluids that may need to drain out. Are you able
to keep her warmer overnight, around 75-80F to help boost her immune system right now. You might
be able to ward off an infection or keep it from getting worse.
A dehumidifier should help out too. Let us know how the vet visit goes, if you are able to get her in.

Sorry to hear about Morty , what was the initial problem that led to her being syringe fed ? Can you post pics of her to show body condition and also pics of er enclosure if possile ? Oh, and 40-60 % humidity is fine.

Hey, I just saw one of your posts from a few months ago, I’m sorry for your loss of Sweet Pea and Zen, I know that’s really rough, and I’ll keep you in my prayers!
