Im a bit concerned about my new Pastel Royal and am looking for some advice please.
He`s in a rub at the moment and the temps are spot on, i`ve only picked him up twice and all seems fine until he starts to stretch out.
I`ve attached a picture to try and show you what i mean.
Once his head is 6-8 inches below his body, water droplets come out of his nostrils, these are clear, no bubbles just a one or two droplets.
I had him sat on my lap for around 15 minutes and there was no sign of any problems when he is just rolled up in a ball or moving along the floor.
Do you think this is an RI and should he be off to the vet?

I found a rep specialist vet and he said he seems to be in extremely good health. No sign of any water droplets when we got there, typical.
Best to be safe than sorry. |

well just keep an eye in him.
i noticed sometimes in my rub that if Kazz has wrecked it something gets wet then the humidity increases, and also when she has peed..
That was why i asked about it -) |
