I was just holding Cocoa and I've gotten a bit concerned. He sneezed twice in the duration of an hour, and their was a clear wet substance(like water) near his nostrils. I wiped it off and it doesn't come out unless he sneezes. Is this nasal discharge a sign of illness? He is maintaining a healthy weight and coat, he's eating and drinking, and his eyes are clear. What does wheezing sound like? I'm a little scared because I don't want it to get so far out of hand that he dies. I;m afraid that if I wait any longer it will grow out of control.
 
Doc I know your a member of GL, there is some very good information there about URI's.
 
A couple sneezes aren't too serious, though the discharge is one sign of a URI. Just watch carefully.
 
I did. He's still perky, maintaining a healthy weight, and there have been absolutely no signs of any discharge, hair loss, lethargy, etc. in the past three days. I don't think he's sick, I believe that he just got a whiff of something that made him sneeze. :)
 
I had that once from one of my piggies in 2 days they were fine.
 
Ok, I agree--it's probably just normal. It's great to ask, though, and it's great you're paying such attention.
