Hey guys, my Striga has a possible problem.
He has brown/orange staining above his nostrils, isnā€™t that a symptom of a sinus infection or Vitamin A deficiency?

He eats tons of veg, and is very good about eating everything offered.

The stains have been there for a month now, I thought if I increased the orange veg it would go away but itā€™s gotten worse.
He is otherwise normal, he weighs around 32g.

I canā€™t take him to a vet physically, but could do a virtual consultation. He would probably die of fright if I tried to bring him to a vet.
Hereā€™s some pics.

Looks like a sinus drain stain. Likely a mild sinus infection or low humidity. a virtual consultation would be recommended if you are unable to to a face to face, which is always perfered.
The houses humidity is 60%. I guess he will likely need oral antibiotics?

He might, but don't try to prescribe meds yourself, let a qualified vet do that, even if its only a video visit.
I think weā€™re gonna do an in-person visit. The vet isnā€™t open til Monday. Iā€™ve got a bad habit of that šŸ˜…
