Over the last month, I had a breakout of snuffles on the pen where I had my buck "Ton" and his 5 growouts. Everyone got infected except for one male kit. White snot, matted paws, the works. The 4 infected siblings got culled but I gave a chance to Ton as he had a mild case and got better quick, until he relapsed badly and in the same period got a skin condition and lost a bunch of weight so he was culled as well.
Through all of this this male kit, "Ran" was completely healthy without a single sneeze or skin issue, so I decided to keep him to breed resistance.
...And now he has been sneezing. His eyes and nose have a bit of a completely clear and fluid discharge, his paws are completely clean and fine, but he sneezes.
Since summer is about to start here I have until end of january to monitor the situation before I breed again, but I'm scared of infecting my beloved does.
Would you give him some time and continue monitoring in the hope of it being just allergies to preserve his apparent resistance, or would you not risk it?
I am just starting with a trip and it's difficult to get breeders where I live (middle of a metropolis) so I am kind of careful with the culling at the moment.
