Coughing?

[nilla]

My girl is making a strange sound as of late.
It sounds kinda like a cough as she opens her mouth a little too do it.
Not allot just once in awhile..
Is this just a sound they do sometimes or worst?

It is an RI - respiratory infection - or at least the very beginnings of one. She really needs to be treated for this. If left untreated it can get much worse.

What would cause this??

How do i treat it?

Thank you!

i would get to the vet as soon as possible. i wouldnt want to risk leaving it unchecked for long.
im sure others would agree?

Water in the nose could be a culprit. Blaze has had them a number of times, and I have tried 'holistic' ways to get rid of them. Finally, I had to get her some antibiotics. Until you can get her to the vet, reduce the humidity as low as you can and bump the temps up. I added an extra bulb to Blaze's cage, she hated it, but its what she needed.

I agree get her to the vet asap!!!! Just my 2 cents....
