Sneezing, itching, urine leakage


My vet just closed and I am going to call them first thing in the morning. But I figured I would ask here if these symptoms sound familiar to any PD owners. My girl is about one year old and the past couple of days she has been sneezing a few times a day but it has a little chirp that comes with it and she has been leaking a little bit of pee which she never did before. She eats well, still plays normally and drinks water by the gallon. Has anyone experienced this? Also, her poop is usually blackish, and now it is a light tan color. These symptoms have only been going on 2-3 days.

P.S. Kosh, Zoot and Daizi have their own YouTube channel now! (I know) The link is on my profile. If you have videos of your babies, I would love to see them as well. I will leave an update (as I always do) when I know more about Kosh's health.

Hello. I totally recomend you to take your PD to the vet. When poop turnos brown instead of black is due to internal parasites.

Sneezing is not a common behaviour and pee around can be a simpthom of pee infection.

I have a channel in youtube TheWendolinaComun with bunch of my PD videos.

Regards

**UPDATE***
Ok, so I took all 3 of my babies to a PD specialist in Temple, TX. He thought that Kosh had a bladder infection (why she was spot peeing outside her cage) and that it turned into a possible sinus infection (why she was sneezing) which caused drainage and crusties around her notstrils. He gave all three each a shot of antibiotics and anti-allergy meds. It was possible our baby Daizy brought something home the day we adopted her, but they seem much better already!
If you haven't already, check out their YouTube channel: KoshKlan ,and share yours with me too (any animal)! Wouldn't it be cute to make all of our babies Youtube channels and sub to each other? Pen pals! Sorry, getting carried away!! haha

Good to hear you took them to the vet. I thought it was infection too. When they pee all around (bloody or not), normally is because infection. Yes, it is possible the new one bring something with her. When having a new one, it is very importart to take it to the vet and have a complete review in order to prevent that any other you have at home, can take a diseasse.

Now I cant see your channel, i will do tonight or tomorrow. I wanna see ur babies, sure they are so cute.

Let me know how they are going.

Regards
