I was on here a year ago when I first got him he was ill and have had no problems and got him to good health with your help. I just returned home from out of town leaving for a week. I have his lights on a timer and I kept the house at 78 while gone since it is so cold but the lady watching the home turned the heat down to 70. I took him out of his cage and he tilted his head up and made a gasping noise I thought he was hissing at me but then he did it again then in the bathroom just him and I he kept doing it. His beard turned black in a circle around his neck and I called a pet store. They said at first maybe he was startled but he is still doing it. They said if it got too cold he could have gotten an respiratory illness but I can't get him in until tomorrow. I have him on a heat pad on low and I am watching him carefully. I don't know how to explain it but everytime something goes wrong with him the pit of my stomache turns until I figure it out and get him healthy. It has happened a few times. Well we were going to stay gone longer and told my husband I just want to go home (Not like me) Now I know why it was because he was telling me he is not ok. What can I do. I can't just watch him suffer like this. My heart aches for him and I can't stop crying. I will be devastated if anything happens to him. I know people don't understand and I don't care but he is truely attached to apart of my heart and I need to help him. Please help me!!!!!!
