Sniffles?

Shine said:

I have a 2.5 year old BFA, Fidget. In the last couple of weeks he seems to occasionally sniffle some. Its typically after he eats and gets a drink. It sounds like hes snorting or sniffling, sometimes it even sounds like bubbles, (if that makes sense) and seems to appear to happen when he is inhaling. It lasts about 10 min or so, then hes fine. I initially thought that maybe he got water in his nostril when he was drinking, but now I'm not sure. Could his nostril be clogged with food? He really digs into his chop, so maybe ?

No behavior changes, diet changes or anything else I can put my finger on. I guess its happened about 5 times now.

It never happened up until the last couple of weeks. Is this a normal thing or do I need to get him to a vet? (either tomorrow or next week. Only one vet here) Thanks for any help.

Thanks Sailboat. We are in northern Nevada, so pretty dry here. Humidity is usually about 30% in the apt. So, yeah, that makes sense. I dont know if he does it at other times because when I am at home, hes with me or on his tree, which has both food and water on it. As usual, he eats on and off, all the time, but I do see him drinking quite often too.
Maybe its time to pick up a humidifier.
