Hi guys!

My 2 y.o. boy started making some weird sounds yesterday. It is similar to their usual chitting but a bit more.. hoarse and interrupted?
Is this normal or do we have to be concerned?

Other than that, he is behaving, eating drinking, pooping normally.

Here is a video with this sound https://youtu.be/aTS1LBysjiw

Does it seem to be an airway/nasal obstruction? Do you think he is producing it on purpose?

It does not seem like he's doing this on purpose, he's making this sound almost constantly not in specific situations :/

We did end up going to the vet's, but they couldn't tell anything specific. They did the visual check, checked his nose, listened his lungs with a statoscope, measured temperature, etc. They gave him an anti-inflammatory shot and asked to come back tomorrow in any case. So we will see.

I do have to say, he is awfully cute! For peace of mind, I'm glad you had him checked out by a vet. I hope the worrisome noise goes away.

Thank you @lynx ! He's my little mix of a beaver and a quokka :D

Another update
We made an x-ray and the doctor found a little lung inflammation :(
He was given a few shots and the vet said he would be fine and there was nothing to worry about.

I will be monitoring him closely and hoping for the best :)
