Update I forgot to update you on snowball. She has stopped sneezing all the time to sneezing like they should idk if it’s cos I changed there bedding to carefresh… she seems good she has days were she is tried but could be to the heat. I’ve seen her eating foraging and nuggets by herself and she’s drinking. Maybe the painkillers are working. She did look abit red below her month on the corner on her skin idk if she’s been itching it, gonna take a better look later but don’t wanna stress her. Still giving her nuts everyday to fatten her up

I’m honestly thinking it’s old age… she’s not has active she used to be, she likes to relax but so do the others. Carefresh is pricey.. snowball is a pricey girl 😂

Update snowball started this the same symptoms yesterday, sneezing, looking tried, itching her ear. did notice her walking around in circles idk if she was just getting comfy etc, idk if it’s seasonal, the only thing I’ve changed is the bedding inside their house to make it warmer. I’ve left her this morning in the house has I went to work but I keep thinking about her

Maybe it's the change in the bedding?
If you look through this thread maybe you would see a pattern?

Just like a human.
It is difficult to tell between a viral cold and a bacterial respiratory infection, if it gets serious and she gets blocked up and any difficulty breathing then get her to the vet.

She’s Up and about bless her.

I don’t want to jinx it but a update on snowball. So I asked my sister to check on snowball on Wednesday when I went to work and she was up eating a nugget, ever since been eating and drinking herself now. She’s more active, but I have notice a eye half open, no discharge etc idk if it’s having me on cos when I gave her something to eat she opens it. Anyway she’s seems a lot more herself. :)no idea what happened maybe she had a cold I honestly don’t know
