    Respiratory infection?

    She literally had all the other symtoms except those ones. I feel that i did catch onto the infection really early so maybe those symptoms didnt get a chance to kick in

    Respiratory infection?

    I highly doubt theres a draft. She has her basking light and i turn on her heating mat during the night and on top of that my room is fairly warm. I think she has got a respiatary infection as she is displaying symtoms of it. If she gets any worse in the next 2 days i will have to find a vet.

    Respiratory infection?

    I think she may have a repiatary infection. She has watery eyes, yawning quite a bit, weird head movements and sneezing. She is walking around a bit now but i can still see something is bothering her.
