Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. These signs could be caused by an upper respiratory infection. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Auno so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
