Babies have dirty nose.

One of the little girls has porphyrin around her nose and on her paws were she has been rubbing her nose.....what should I do for this? She seems fine, eating, active and not sneezing or breathing funny......

This is of course my foster baby....not one of my babies.

How old and is it there only in the mornings/when she wakes up or all day?

Without more symptoms, I'd just keep an eye on the ratties. This could just be the stress of the change in their life.

I just got them yesterday....didn't notice anything this morning when I left for work but I just got home and noticed it around her nose and on her little arms.....

That is what I was thinking Jo but I wanted to check.....they have had a lot happen to them in 24 hrs.....change of food, water, cage, lots of new things...plus an hour drive home....It must be been very stressful for them.......

Oh I forgot to answer lilspaz68 question.....they are 7 weeks old.

Serves me right for not keeping up on forum happenings as well as I want to :doh:. Yeah sounds like typical New Home Stress. As Jo said, keep an eye on it but don't worry yet.

Thank you both....that is what I thought but then I thought I better ask in case they needed meds.........
