both my bunns were at the vet yesterday; they got urinalyses and a general check-up and the vet gave them a clean bill off health.

this morning, I took my bunns for a brisk walk in their new pet stroller, then set up their pen in the front yard so they could frolic around for a while. I was taking a picture of Gaz laying in the entrance to their tunnel toy when I noticed the fur around her nostrils looked extra dark - kinda looked like her nose was sweating. on closer inspection, the fur around her nostrils was damp. I have no clue if it had just started or had been like that for a while, but I *think* I would've noticed when I was putting them in the stroller if her nose had been like that.

I packed them up and took them inside... grabbed a drink of water, started a load of laundry, etc. (maybe 5-10 minutes) and then I got a washcloth dipped in warm water and went to gently clean around her nose so I would be able to tell if the problem continued once we were back inside (ie difference between reaction to something outdoors and a consistent runny nose) and it was already dry and back to normal.

should I call the vet right now or just keep a close eye on her and see if it happens again today?

(if it matters, it was probably about 78-79F outside and pretty humid... that's usually the weather when I take 'em out in the early morning, though, and this has never happened before)
 
she pretty much went straight into her plastic tunnel and stayed there; it was around 8:30 am and it's somehow both dry AND humid here, so I don't think there was dew (though I could be remembering wrong). I've been checking on her and so far, her nose has stayed dry.
