hi guys.
long time reader, first time poster!
Anyway, down to business. I have a 6 foot coastal named 'Boof'. He's kept at thirty degrees in clean and hygienic conditions. Recently, I have noticed some slight sounds coming from his nasal passages.
The sounds have been going on for about three days and they are worrying me as i've never heard them from any of my other animals. i've separated "Boof" from the others just in case.
Any help or information would be great.
cheers

If not get him straight to the vet as he may be develoing a respiratory infection. Bumping the temps up a few degrees may help a little, but i'd still be going to the vets to get it checked out as early as possible. Better safe then sorry.

is RI the same as our "sniffles" or more seriouse like a chest infection?
