Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Rabbits don't catch colds, that's a human virus and it can't pass to rabbits.
If she has cold like symptoms e.g. sneezing/discharge then she needs to see a vet and probably get antibiotics.
As Elve mentions pastrulla is the common cause of cold-like symptoms ina rabbit and that is a bacterial infection and needs treating with antibiotics.

Thankyou everybody =] in just one eye there has obviousily been a dischardge of sorts but only in one eye. Thsi came on over two days. Not obvious at first but now it is =S I have just been round the shed that she lives in to check there isn't anything there that make it worse. But i will deffonitely trake her to the vets. I have a feeling this happened to her when i was 10 ( when i got her) and we took her to the vets and the vet said she had a cold ( but thinking aboput this he would say that as i was only 10) and gave her anitbiotics so i will take her to the vets and get some anitbiotics =] thankyou very much for your help xx
