Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! Beatrice may have an upper respiratory infection and will likely need a course of an antibiotic injection. I would recommend she be examined by a veterinarian to have this done before the potential infection worsens and becomes more difficult to treat. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
