Clear Discharge From Nostril

[theoretikos]

Is it normal for a piggy to have clear discharge coming from their nose? He is breathing, eating etc fine.

 

[Dindypig]

No it isn't normal. It may be a reaction to a bit of hay dust or other small particulates. The nose reacts to irritants by producing clear discharge to help remove the irritant. There is also the possibility that your piggy might have a respiratory infection. Either way it would be wise to get your piggy to the vet asap to find out what is causing it.

I agree, it needs checking as soon as possible. It could even be fluid which could indicate an infection or heart issues.

Thank you @Dindypig and @helen105281

It has just came on this evening, I'll be phoning the vets tomorrow.

 

[theoretikos]

That's the boys booked into the vet for 11:30am. As usual they are up and no signs of anything! It's worth getting it checked anyway.

Good luck at the vets.

 

[theoretikos]

They are back and there's nothing wrong! I'm thinking that he could have had a runny nose after I sprayed something in another room. I won't be using it again x

It must be such a relief they have been given a clean bill of health.
