Hi everyone, one of my rats David is a year and a half years old and has been sneezing out what looks like blood. It doesn’t seem like the porphyrin that usually comes out of his nose as it is much more liquidy. It is also only coming out of one nostril and he is constantly cleaning it. It also sounds like there is liquid in his nose while hes breathing (like a gargling noise). I’m not sure if it’s some sort of respiratory illness or maybe a cut in his nose? He’s not acting any differently or eating less. Please let me know if anyone knows what’s going on or if I should take him to the vet.
