my chem seems to hav a very light sneeze type sound it makes ,maybe once or twice a day .should i be concerned? thanks

Possibly....check your humidity levels and make sure they are not too low...or to high.... it sounds like it could be the start of a Upper Respiratory Infection. It still sounds early though. What others signs are there...hows his mucous?

thanks

no mucus and nothing abnormal that i can tell part from a little bumb between his eyes closer to hi left eye size of a bebe

Hey, you might also want to check the location of your cage. I know when my guy developed URI it was because his cage was near the window. I noticed you are in Michigan and Im sure its getting pretty cold and dry about now...this may be the problem.

Try relocating your cage to a spot less susceptible to the dry outside.

My female pantherwill "sneeze" when I water her or if she isnt wanting to cooperate during cage cleanings. Its just a little puff of air but I cant quite let you listen to my interpretation on here Is it when you are around the cage say cleaning or watering? Keep a close eye out for the signs of URI though. It really could be more than one possibility.

Well my female does it just as i enter the room. Its a way of saying back off. A small sigh or sneeze.

thats kinda when he does it at beginning of misting or when i mess around in cage thanks i feel a little better but i will still keep close eye on him as to make sure its not a uri. steve
