Good and bad news..

as some of you know i just got a baby GTP few days ago.

The good news is...he went straight to the water bowl as soon as i put it in last night for him..he was drinking water from his perch for a good 5 mins on and off.( i thought i saw somewhere on forum they usually drink from their coils.) def he was dehydrated ..and i decided to put in there as a back up plan if he ever wanted to drink water.Thank god he did drink it out from bowl.
(ok .please bear with me for a moment for the bad news)
well the bad news is...
i found this unusal behavior that he is having..He pushed his nose against his body tried to wipe off something (getting some ideas whats going on??)
Yes, so i watched him the whole time..he was just using his nose to push against his body and his surronding area..i was like O..M..G..please dont tell me its Respiratory Infection..so i checked up on google..all these systoms are matching what he is doing...weightloss ( he looks skinnier than few days ago when i got him)..open mouth..lethargy, failure to feed...

anybody had any expriences with it? i m gonna raise up temp for him..but besides that i m not sure what else i can do for him..if it gets worse..vet attention will be needed..thanks guys any suggestions would help..
