Watery Eyes And Nose

[Lilly bose]

As its my first time to pet gp so i am much concerned about them.
For last 2-3 days i see watery nose and today i see little water on both eyes of my gp. Did he caught cold in any case?
Here's some images. I don't see any injury and neither he is Sneezy, but it concerns me.

Watery fluid in nose and eyes is a sign of irritation. check whether you have got very dusty hay or bedding.

Is it something really serious? Or this is just normal?

Has your boy got access to unlimited hay? it should make around 80% or more of the daily food intake.

Have you recently started a fresh bale of hay, heating, air fresheners, scent sticks or used a new perfuned skin product?

It doesn't matter whether you use hay for bedding or feed it in a ball or hay rack. Hay dust can get into the eyes and nose either way if he moves the hay ball around and sticks his head in!
I would see whether another dust-free hay brand can help.

As you are not reporting any of the symptoms of a respiratory infection, I would not be worried much about that. However, if you want to see a vet, please be aware that they are going to treat for that if they have the slightest worry, just to make sure that there is no risk of them overlooking a potentially deadly illness before they consider other options.

All we can do is give you avenues to pursue; we cannot replace a vet and a diagnosis. How long have you had your boy? Is he a single piggy or has he got a companion?

I would try a different hay brand. Please see a vet promptly if symptoms get worse or if they persist. See a vet if you are in any way worried. URI (respiratory infection) is perfectly treatable with an antibiotic when caught early on.
