New Baby BTS arrived and is sneezing often

Postby slangblades » Fri Apr 29, 2022 9:33 pm

There was some kind of mixup with fedex and the baby was in the delivery truck for about 7 more hours after the the scheduled delivery time. When I opened the box, he was colder than room temperature, and the heat pack barely had any warmth on it anymore. I let the breeder know he is sneezing kinda often but not weezing or blowing bubbles. Any advice? His temps in the cage are where they need to be 105-85-75 and he is on cypress mulch with a little bit of sphagnum moss. I just got him today so dont want to bug him but, do you guys think its early signs of repiratory infection? not sure what to do and any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi there...I hate when the deliveries are late! Anyways, what kind is this baby? How is it doing now? How often are you hearing it sneeze?

Itt seems to be doing better. sneezing has mostly gone away... occasinally he will sneeze but I think that may be normal. He is a northern bts

Okay good. Just keep an eye on it. If the sneezing gets worse or you notice wheezing at all call the vet.
