Poss sneezing?

Sean has just said that Piper is possibly sneezing but he can't really tell. I did think she might have had a runny nose the other day but it wasn't damp or anything and didn't have mucky paws so I left her to it and have been keeping an eye on her.

Should I just keep looking at her and see if she really is sneezing and if she is take her to the vets on Monday or is it urgent and should I try to get an appointment tomorrow to be on the safe side?

I don't know how serious 'colds' are in rabbits.

Hi Helen

Oh no, poor Piper. I have no experience of sneezing to be honest but sending vibes your way.

If there is no discharge, it may just be dust from straw or something.

Keep us posted

My house bun sneezes from time to time, but I think it's because he's shedding and he gets fur up his nose.

It's usually a couple of sneezes at a time, and there isn't a discharge. He licks his nose after, and occasionally cleans it with his paw, so I'm sure it's fur or dust. As long as there isn't coloured discharge and their eyes are clean thats probably all it is.

If it gets worse then best to go to the vet though.
 
Check the inside of her "Wrists", and if the fur there a bit matted that means that she has a slight nasal discharge, as buns wipe their noses dry with the inside of their front paws.
 
It may well be that's it's just one of those bunny mysteries sent to worry us half to death!!:lol:
 
My Flopsy is an outdoor bun but sneezes from time to time -cannot get to the problem though:roll:

Doesn't have anything on paws or any telltale signs of snuffles:shock:
