Twinkles snotty nose

[The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue]

Hi all
My sow twinkle has been bit sneezy for a week but appears well and piggyfied.She has snotty nose bless her mucus not clear now bit discoloured, and watery eye.Claire Love recommended sudafed...forgot dose Claire.
Twinkle is not coughing, just bit snuffly when she eats !
Any further ideas before the vets.
She has normal bedding and no probs with hayfever.

if the discharge is off colour and she has a runny eye it maybe worth antibiotics for a few days, incase of a chest infection.

Also she will benefit from soluble vit C in her water until she is well, if her chest does become ruttley then i would try her with sudafed expectorant (orange box ), 0.2ml and you should see improvement in around 5-15mins.

keep a check on her as chest infections can take a hold very fast, azithromycin is the best antibiotic to use for chest problems x
