Whistling breath

[Albee vw]

Hi, my tortoise Kiwi is 2 years old now and I'm a bit concerned about his breathing sound because almost every breath include with whistling sound like his nose is not big enough to inhale, also sometimes he makes a pig? Or frog? Sound. Is this normal? I really appreciate your reply ?

It could be the first sign of a respiratory infection. Best thing to do is check your temps and bump them up a little both day and night. Give him extra soaks and make sure the water stays warm. Keeping him warm and hydrated will help him fight the infection if that’s what it is. Watch for runny nose.
