Most likely he's fine. Sheep are often breathing in dust from their feed and hay, and they secrete mucus to help in expelling it from their respiratory systems. Give him a day or so, unless he's exhibiting labored breathing, and then you might need to give him some antibiotics.

OK thanks.It has turned off cooler and wet over the weekend, and I thought he might be taking a cold.
