Sneezing?
« on: January 14, 2013, 09:06:16 AM »
Snickerdoodle has been making a squeaky sound that sounds like a sneeze. He did it while sitting on my back and just looking around. My dad has the flu, but has been careful not to touch him, and anyway from what I understand it's unlikely that he caught it from a human. I haven't heard him so it since I woke up an hour ago, but I have not been paying much attention.
My chinchilla seems okay otherwise, so I'm not too worried.
Anyone have any input? Thanks!

If it's just a couple times in a day it's nothing. My chin sneezes quite a bit when he is dusting. Is there any sign of discharge from the eyes or nose? Respiratory infections usually present first with runny nose and eyes.
