My female leopard seems to be breathing weird. I'm pretty sure she has infertiles inside, but I've noticed that as her belly has gotten bigger, her breathing seems labored. She seems to be taking some big deep breaths, whether she's just sitting there, or walking around. Could something be wrong with her? or is this normal for those carrying eggs?


(You might have to view the screen at different angles. I can't get clear belly shots)

When you hold her close to your ear can you hear a clicking noise?

No, I haven't heard a clicking noise. But sometimes I can heard a weird squelching noise, maybe with a click & then squelch...do you know what I mean?

Sorry, not really. I had a gecko one time have a respitory infection. When I held it close by I could here a clicking sound as it was breathing.

Oh, ok. Well no. I haven't heard any clicking noise. I actually think it might be her belly area making the noise. I don't squeeze her when i pick her up, but maybe just cuz of the different angles she is at while I'm picking her up. Thanks for that information though.
