Title: Baby Chilla
Post by: sashasmommy on June 05, 2010, 04:54:04 AM

The new baby seems to be doing fine! Cuddling well with mama! But quick question....it seems to have some..stuff on its nose? Can I clean this or should I let mama do it?

Could it be a cut?
Dried blood?
Skin, poop, afterbirth?????
Did you try wiping it off or did Mom get it?

@ debbie There is a post with a pic.  I have never seen anything like that but I am not very experienced. I am curious to learn what people think it is.

Is it white and does it look like mucous? If so it could be a cold. Is she sneezing or rubbing her nose? If so I would get her into the vets ASAP.
