Tonight, I picked Nikki up and noticed right away that I can hear her breathing. It sounds almost like normal breathing, only much louder with a slight wheeze. I've never heard her do this before. She sneezes every once in a while.
Her eyes and nose are clean- no discharge or crustiness whatsoever. She's still drinking fine. She has the same amount of energy as usual. Her heartbeat is strong/fast from what my mother and I can tell from listening to it with a stethoscope. I did notice that she's become pickier when it comes to eating her vegetables. She picks through her food and leaves her least favorite pieces uneaten more often than what she used to. She does still eat her hay and pellets as usual and she hasn't lost any weight. Her bedding is Carefresh. She's roughly four and a half years old, give or take a few months.
We're taking her to the vet (an exotics one) on Monday because the vet is closed for the weekend. I'm worried sick and I was wondering if anyone has a slight idea of what could be wrong with her?
