Hello,
I don’t know if this is normal or not, but while cutting Pumpkins nails, he sneezed extremely loud and violently and then we put him down, and he started twitching while he was walking. It stopped after about ten seconds but it was quite scary as we don’t know what this is. Should this be a cause for concern?

Hi!

it is definitely not connected to the nail cutting and sounds rather like something was irritating his nose and will hopefully be sneezed out. If it continues, please have the nose checked for something potentially stuck in there. It will hopefully just be a one off with the offending bit sneezed out.
