Hi all,
Lucy has been doing great. She's huge now, she's eating well (pinkies), etc. But about two weeks ago, I heard funny noises from her cage one night. I watched her...and she was talking. She was opening her mouth and making little squeaking noises, then sometimes, she opened her mouth very wide in something that looked like a yawn. Sometimes, it was louder and almost sounded like a meow. Most of the time, it was little chirping noises. It kind of sounds like a mating call.
She's been doing this every since. It happens every night and as of four days ago, it happens during the day, too. She seems to be just fine...she's eating great, she likes to be held. She's been trying to get out but she does that from time to time. She reminds me a little of my Siberian husky...she moves her mouth (silently) a couple of times and then sounds come out. Then she yawns, and it starts over again. It's not constant, it's just from time to time.
I can't find any information about this. I read that CeeCee was wheezing but this doesn't sound like wheezing. It did start a few days after I fed her from a new group of frozen pinkies. The pinkies came from the place I always go. I noticed they smelled a little funny and I don't usually notice a smell - sort of like they went through a freezer defrost cycle. I really don't know if this is related but I thought it was worth mentioning. It could just be a coincidence.
Thanks so much for your help.
