Rubbing nose, sneezed, and clear liquid discharge.

[HumanWithFurryPotats]

My 5 year old Guinea Pig, Alexa, has been acting strange. She rubs her nose with her paw, and did sneeze today. I thought something was in her nose, cause my 1 year old had that. I got a tissue and put it on her nose, and I got a little drip of a clear, watery substance. She is eating well, sleeping well, and does look skinny, but the vet said that is for other reasons. Is this URI? I am going to the vet tomorrow for my 1 year old’s appointment( hay poke), and I thought I could ask the vet about Alexa as well. In the meantime I want to hear your suggestions.
I can’t take Alexa to the appointment though.

Hi! It rather sounds like an irritation in her nose, whether that is hay dust or a bit of hay gone up her nose. Hopefully it is gone by tomorrow. If it persists, I would recommend to see a vet in case something is stuck in her nose.
