Poor Piddles! It could be she has allergies and they are acting up, or it could be a sign of a respiratory infection. Without seeing her in person, I cannot say if she is ok or not. If she is otherwise acting normally, eating her food and drinking, and she has no other signs such as a runny nose, discharge from the eyes, a cough, and lethargy, you can watch her for now. To be safe, you could always bring her into a vet to get checked out. I hope this helps!
