This sign could be caused by an upper respiratory infection/inflammation and should be ideally checked by your local veterinarian as antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
