Stuffy Nose

Floss Jun 05, 2006 08:56 PM

My WD's left nostril has been plugged for a few days. He has no trouble breathing, but I'd hate for him to only be able to breath from his right nostril.
I've attempted to clean out the dirt with a warm, moist Q-tip, but to no avail.
Perhaps a steamy bathroom would help?
I'm not sure what would be the best method to unplugging that nostril, I'm just afraid that he's uncomfortable.

Is he shedding right now?
His nose if probably clogged due to shedding. Increase humidity, and try some warm baths...
However, if there is any discharge (you know, like snot) you really do need to take him to the vet.

No no, there's no mucus or anythnig of the sort from him (Thankfully.)
Mm. I'll give him some warm baths them, his humidity is at a good point.
Thank you. :D
