When i was holding my blood today i noticed that a tiny bit of liquid was coming out of her nose,does this mean she has RI, just a cold or what?

Hey,
Sometimes they stick their noses into the water while drinking, which is almost impossible for them not to do anyway, and get some water into the nose and blow it back out when picked up or moving about. It's usually nothing if that is the case. You can confirm it by checking over the next day or two, by checking for other signs of RI, by listening for weezing, gurgling, or bubbly saliva that is thick and sheets. More than likely, it is the first thing mentioned and there is no need for worries.
