I'm sorry to hear that Maverick is not feeling well. It sounds like he probably has an upper respiratory infection. If he is still eating and playful, that's a good sign. I would make sure to keep his eyes and nose clean with a warm moist wash rag. You could put a humidifier in the room where he spends his time or put him in the bathroom while someone is taking a shower. The humidity will help his nose continue to drain. If you see he loses his appetite, is having a hard time breathing or he starts squinting his eyes, then I recommend taking him to a veterinarian.
