Clicking noise when sleeping?

Hi all !

My little buddy makes a clicking /popping noise when he sleeps. I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled to see if he makes those noises when hes up.

I had taken him to a vet about a month ago, to see if he has a URI. She said he is healthy.


Here is video I recorded. Apologies about the scratching type sound. My phone must've been touching him haha.
You shouod be able to hear these popping/clicking noises. They happen about 7-8 seconds a part. About 3-4 popping sounds in the video.

Thank you friends :)

It might be a stuck nose shed, take a look at his nostrils and see if there is a flap covering it. Lizz had one that turned inside out a few months ago and it mimicked an URI and scared the crap out of me.

Just make sure you don't remove anything from their nose as they have a piece of cartilage that they can close that keeps any water or foreign objects from getting in their nose.

Thank you for the replies guys! Sorry about the delayed response...

I wasn't getting email notifications haha..

I'm thinking it might be a nose shed, he has started recently getting shed spots on him, especially on the top of his nose and tail area. There have not been any other signs of a URI, which I was scared it could be.
