So my boy poppy has been perfectly healthy since I got him but today I went to see him and his nose is all stuffy and there's red discharge coming out of it.He is also wheezing/ making odd noises and I'm seriously panicking.
My parents laughed at me when I told them I wanted to take him to the vet, my dad thinks its a lost cause
(before you get angry, I CAN take him to the vet. I'd rather take alternative routes first though, before I go spending the little money I have. I may have to make the trip anyway for his brother's eye but before that I'd just like to know if anyone has encountered this before and how they treated it.)
Long story short according to a quick search in the internet it is a respiratory infection, is this the only possibility?
Is there any home/over the counter medicines that may help?
Also should I separate him from his cage mate?
Thank you!
