Olive has been gaping her mouth , nose in the air ~ so of course I think URI - but, she just did not act quite like any of the other ones I have had that had this - I also noticed that the new male Jackson I have only had 2 weeks was also doing this- but not as bad as Olive - Olive had just had babies 4 weeks ago- I only give the cal/ as sugested - 2 X a week, and the D3/ vit on everyother Sundays- I was talking to Laurie about the "odd" way she is showing her URI symptoms - she sugested it may be a lack of Cal/ issue- and sure enough- it was - YOU NAILED IT LAURIE they both have low cal/ - I took all 3 chams to the vet, ( that was fun ) this was on Thur- she is already doing much better, and the male had this before I got him, so he is also on track now - I just thought I'd share this , as a cal/ issue looks very much like a URI- but she was lacking the sticky spit, and not breathing deep or hard- but she got SO worked up at the vets he said her heart rate was so high from being mad, we put her away before she stroked on us- he will see her again in 2 weeks this is not to say not to take your cham to the vet - YOU STILL MUST GO TO THE VETS ! if it IS a URI- you can not wait on these things -
also, she is a MOOSE - 96 grams
