I have just gone out to check on Pop and Sam. And the fur around Pop's nostrils have changed colour, they have a a browny colour on them she is pure white. Any idea what it could be?? I am gonna phone the vets after I give her a check over.
 
Barney gets this when he his nose is running from his snuffles - it is just that his nose has been damp and then he's put his face in hay or something else that is dusty. Can be any colour from yellow to brown.

When he has critical care he also has brown around his nose and mouth, but that's just due to messy eating habits!

She doesn't have snuffles but I must admit it is the same colour as the nuggets.

It isn't the snuffles that causes it, it is the slight running of the nose, which I imagine could be caused by other things, like sneezing because of irritation by dust or something. It is just the dampness of the fur which dust and dirt then stick to.
