Mostly because it is to hot or they are tired

QUESTION: hi again, also when it is quite hot they sometimes get discharge in their noses. But after a while it disappears. We have taken one of thm to the vet about it and they sed she had an infection but thn she sed it had cleared up. Is there a need to worry or is it tht they could just possibly be hot?

Answer
Hi Sophie

If it keeps on clearing up then i dont think that there is a need to worry
This is strange because this normally happens in the winter when its cold
Im No vet but i would say things should be fine
However if this keeps occuring you should consider to buy some mixture that will help with the nose

All the best Sophie
