Hello Tammy, Frank Indiviglio here.Thanks for your interest in our blog.Dormancy usually starts during cool season, so if you are in the southern hemisphere it is possible, less likely in northern. However, the labored breathing is not a sign of dormancy; may be a respiratory insaltion.Pceefe send details as regarding temperature and UVB exposure and I’ll review, but its best to bring the animal in for a vet exam at this point.Good luck and please forward more info when you can.Best regards, Frank Indiviglio.
