One of my piggys nostrils looks slightly wet inside. It's not running and she is acting 100% normal showing no other symptoms but things like this really make me paranoid so I thought I would just check to be sure.

Hi! She's likely just had a little irritation in her nose (like hay dust). It should disappear after a good sneeze.

The signs of a URI and/or pneumonia are crackly or raspy breathing, sometimes persistent frequent sneezing that lasts longer than just the few hours to get rid of an irritation in the nose, loss of appetite (the need to breathe comes before the need to drink and thirdly the need to eat), gunky eyes and noses (thick yellowish/greenish mucus, NOT white eye cleaning fluid or watery/transparent fluid that indicates an irritation in the eye or nose), apathy and laboured heaving breathing in order of severity.
 
Thankyou for your help it seems to have cleared now but I will keep an eye on her
