Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Eevee. This could indicate nasal discharge, which may be a sign of a respiratory infection, allergies, or even a foreign body stuck in the nasal passage. I would clean up the area, and keep an eye on her. As long as she is acting normally and showing no signs of illness such as continuing nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, lethargy, difficulty breathing, or a loss of appetite, it's fine to watch her. Should she show any of the signs I mentioned above, then she will need to see a vet. I hope this helps!
