Sneezing?

[WhisperingWolf]

I'm unsure if it really means anything...but I noticed one day Hamish had a few wee sneezes. Thursday night he was fine, nothing at all, but last night sitting on my flatmate he sneezed three-four times in one cuddle session. Robin even let out a sneeze and a cough.

Is this normal or should I be concerned? @)

It is likely by some hay - have an eye out for further signs like crusty eyes, runny nose, crackly breathing, apathy, loss of appetite if you are worried about URI.

I'd keep a close eye on them over the weekend. If you had done some any housework to bring up the dust in your house during the day, or they had some fresh hay before you handled them, it could be the reason why.

Mine occasionally have sneezing fits, just like I do sometimes, but its never anything to worry about, its usually caused by what I mentioned above. I just make sure I keep an eye on them for a few to 24 hours.

If they start to get runny noses, look fluffed up and quiet, not eating or drinking etc, then they will need to be seen by a vet.

Oooh...ok...there's no problems with eyes and nose, and they are eating away happily still...when I get back on sunday I'll check things out more thoroughly and ask my flatmate how they were over the weekend.

Thanks Wiebke! x
