Is my pet's occasional sneezing and eye crust a URI symptom?

Question

When I got Barry i was warned about URI and was told to watch for sneezing and eye crust and nose crust. Barry sneezes sometimes and sometimes has eye crust bit it is very minimal and just in the corners (think human eye crust.) He eats and drinks and play normal and is very talkative. Just the occasional sneezing and eyes. Am I being paranoid? Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male | unneutered | 0.5 lbs

All mammals sneeze occasionally, just like we do. This is a protective mechanism to keep debris out of our respiratory tract. If it is happening more than occasionally, or if you notice yellow or green nasal discharge then I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian.
