Runny nose

Hello,

I have noticed this morning, that my Bert's has got a runny nose. Could this be a change in the weather as it has got really cold all of a sudden??

I have asked the vet about this before and she said that its nothing to worry about at the moment and just to keep an eye on him.
He doesn't have runny eyes as I know this can be their teeth.

Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks guys

Is the discharge clear or whiteish ?

Is he sneezing and have you checked the inside of his front paws? If the fur is sticky this indicates he is wiping his nose a lot and therefore there may be a significant amount of nasal discharge.

I would get the Vet to *examin* him as that is the only way to establish what is going on and if treatment is needed

Good Luck :)
 
Hi,
Sorry late reply, that evening after i wrote on here, he had perked up and his nose was fine, so i would imagine that it must have been the weather, but his paws were fine and he's not sneezing.

He's moving in to a little small accomodation for the winter so are my guineas, so hopefully he wont be so cold!!
poor little man, does tend to get chilly.

Thank you for your help, i had taken him to the vet before about his nose as luckily he'd had it when his vaccine was due so one bill lol!! #
but they said that he was fine but just keep an eye on him. But he's fine now (touch wood)!

Thank you once again!!
