worried mum

Sammysale · 06-04-2008, 11:24 AM

Hi guys,
I bathed my torts this morning and Athena sneezed whilst in the bath. She's never done it before and the water was luke warm as always. She's bright, alert, and active, eating like a horse and peeing and pooing, bright eyes, no discharge from anywhere etc. She's 8 months old, and Xena her sister is perfectly fine no illness signs either. I just wondered if I should worry about the sneezing or if she just had a bit of water up her nose? If anyone has any ideas they are most welcome.
Thanks,
Sammy

sammy if it was just one sneeze then i would be more inclined to think she got a bit of water up her nose. if she has continued to sneeze then i would be a bit more worried about it. waas it a one off? im sure someone wth more experiance will be able to help soon.

hi sammy

i would think she just had a bit of water up her nose (but please wait for someone thats
more experienced to answer)

not saying this is the same but when solo is in the bath she blows bubbles out of her nose when
when shes in the bath because shes had her head in the water but she has never had bubbles out
of the bath

it was just the once and none since she's been out of the bath so hopefully it was just the water. thank you for your quick replies they are much appreciated, i just worry so much.

I agree if it just happened once then it should be fine, once one of mine had a bubble come out of his nose in the bath, I was a little worried and watched him all day, but it never happened again. I worried about him all day so I know what its like
