Thanks MSD :beer2: :congratulations: Jessica!!!
You wouldn't believe the sneezing I got last weekend with the 30-40mph winds! Dirt "crusties" under the noses, seemed like everyone was having hay fever including the cat and dog
... I was having to take my allergy pill 2x per day just to get up in the morning and to be able to go to sleep at night!
And, I am not sure how she did it, but one doe actually sneezed an elm seed out of her nose ... more than likely, she inhaled it from the water dish ... she seems to get water up her nose every time I put fresh water in the bowl! Dingbat doe! LOL
Once it warms up, I keep an eagle eye on them as they seem to get the strangest issues! Thought I was going to lose a growout the other day. He got so excited when I opened his cage to put pellets in his bowl that he jumped around and one leg slipped through the expanded metal floor of the garden cart I am currently housing him and his brother in ... all the way up over the hock. Lord, I thought I wasn't going to be able to restrain him before he broke his leg or his back he was flopping around so much! If only they would quit digging all the hay I put on the floor to keep this from happening!
While I dread pastuerella, at this time of the year, I am more inclined to look for more mundane causes for issues. They have made it through the winter which should have brought out any lurking "P", in my case, no new buns brought in since February with a 30 day quarantine (only had to deal with fur mites on that one).
And then, we have the foggy, moist mornings when the poor angoras look like someone has sprayed them with water they have so much accumulate on their fur. Luckily, their fur is so hydrophobic that their undercoats simply do not get moist, but the other shorter haired buns can have moist, damp coats! Yuck! Poor babies ... they still get hay to snuggle in LOL
