just sneeze?

O/H said he heard one bun sneeze yesterday and today. Now if it is cleo- its the first time she has come here and used woodshavings in her toilet.

I know it is a symptom of respiratory infections and snuffles- but do they every- just sneeze?

if not- how do i tell which bun it is?

I havent heard a thing
 
Woodshavings can cause respiratory (lung) problems, it's possible the sneezing is to do with that. It could be worth changing to a paper based litter just in case - better to be safe than sorry :)
 
definately, i never had problems with theo just imagined cleo would be the same. thanks.

could a new type of hay cause it too.

if it is the dreaded snuffles will they have wet noses?
 
you can check for a wet nose or matted front paws,

it could be her nose is a bit irratated by some dust or air freshner etc that she is not used to
 
theo is the one with the damp nose but i dont think he has been sneezing. and i mean like a spot of wet- not sticky but will check their paws in a sec-

just finished emptying beds of sawdust apart from their litter tray until i get some litter. just newspaper, vet bed and hay now.
 
if it is snuffles asd they need baytril, what digestive supplement must i feed to counteract the harmful effect of the baytril on their stomachs natural bacteria?

I got a probiotic thing from the vet that you just put in the water, sorry cant remember what it was called though :? :D
 
no more sneezes yet, theo has a moist nose (which he has always had) but its clear and watery so no cause for concern, all woodshavings gone except those in the toilet
