Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gee Gee. Based on your description, she may have a respiratory tract infection. If she is eating, drinking and acting like herself, she may clear the infection on her own. If she is acting sick though, she will need to see a veterinarian. If she is congested at all, you can turn the shower to hot and let the steam build in the bathroom. Then place her in the bathroom to breathe the warm humid air. I hope this information helps!
