Good advice skink, give the little fella a mini sauna and let him cough all the phlegm up you can help by gently tapping his back during the process. Wrap him in a towel and go for it. Don't leave him directly over the heat. Use a towel as a tent and go under with him so he's comfy with his mom.

Having pets, part of it is dealing with the sickness that comes.

On an off note, I think tomorrow my husband is taking our 10yo ferret to be put down. poor guy. I'm sad but I feel he will meet up with the rest of his ferret family at the bridge. He's missed his friends. His little heart is broken and he's just surviving, has a cancerous sopt and recently his eyesight went. He lays to eat. It's time for me to be not selfish and let him go. bummer
