no, they are just sneezing. they sound a little raspy in their lungs but there's no discharge at all (nose or eyes) - that's why i have the elec and vit in their water as, in my experience, whenever any of our critters (birds included) seem to be feeling at all ill... it really helps them bounce backOriginally Posted by SatanicIntention
As for them having the "sniffles", is there alot of porphyrin(rust-colored) discharge around their eyes and nose? Are they wheezing or gasping for air? Mouth-breathing? If they just sneeze every so often, and have a small amount of porph around their eyes after they've been sleeping, that is normal. But if it is a constant thing(eyes matted, build up on nose) and their fur is pink-tinged, then you may have something else brewing that needs to go to the vet to get treated. I keep everyone here on aspen and haven't had any allergy problems. They do sneeze every now and then, but then again, who doesn't, LoL.
Anywho, hope that explained some things for you and if you have any other questions, just ask.
