Sneezing?

[Sazzy]

Alan has been sneezing. It's not constant or persistent, but I notice it a few times a day. Herbie doesn't do it...am i over-thinking this? I don't see any kind of discharge around his nose or anything, so I'm not terribly concerned but I do want to watch him...

I wouldn't be to concerned, but if he does start doing more I would definitely think about taking him to the vets. Have you thought about it maybe a allergy to something?

Keep an eye on him, but it is likely nothing. See a vet if the sneezing is frequent/regular rather than occasional, if you notice either runny watery discharge (which is usually the sign of an irritation or allergy) or thick green/yellow mucus (URI); the latter usually also comes with gunky eyes, crackly/raspy breathing, loss of appetite/weight as the need to breathe overtakes the need to eat and the need to drink and ultimately lethargy. See a vet promptly with raspy breathing and gunky eyes, as an emergency with the last two symptoms.
