Discharge can be clear as well without bacterial infection, which may be suggestive of other things. But its important to to distinguish a normal discharge/abnormal one, a quick key point is if it is not excessive or 'runny'. Other than that, is there any other signs of respiratory discomfort- raling, sneezing, laboured breathing etc?

Diarrhoea can be a serious issue, make sure you keep your hedgehog hydrated and keep an eye on the dehydration status. Is the hedgehog loosing weight? Watery green poop may occur for various reasons, but I think most importantly, (1) food change? low quality food? allergies? etc, (2) stressors- environment; noisy/hot etc, (3) parasites are some of the heads up for you to see.

If the problems persist after all this check list, please don't delay on bringing your hedgie to a friendly vet nearby for a quick check up. And hey, even if the hedgie is fine, it wouldn't hurt to see a vet for a routine physical examination too.

Hope this helps,
Thank you,
Best,
Aros.
