Snuffly bun - should I worry?

My Penny 'Pocket' has always been a snuffly bun. She has sneezing fits about every other day that I know of and this usually leads to a little bit of milky discharge out of her nose. She also sounds bunged up - do you know what I mean? She is now nearly ten months.

Penny, along with all my other buns, get a thorough health check when they go for they're myxi jabs every six months. The vet always listens to her chest and everything else and he says there is nothing to worry about. Just so long as she is behaving normally, eating, drinking etc. Well she is. She eats for England and runs around the garden like a mad bun!

Should I be worrying or is it just one of those things? I knew when I got her she was a little runt - she was the last one of the litter and nobody seemed to want her bless her so muggins here got her!

My mummy says I'm a little 'runt'!

My Biscuit is exactly the same as yours - Even looks similar!!. Biscuit suffers from blocked tear ducts caused by tooth roots growing upwards into them. She's fine except for weepy eyes and a bunged up nose. She's always on eyedrops and has to have her ducts flushed out every so often.
 
Hello :)

It would be a good idea to monitor her weight. Snuffly Buns tend to loose condition ( weight) when their Snuffles is more active.

I have found Benadryl to be very useful for my Snufflers, aswell as antibiotics if active infection is present. The Benadryl, an antihistime syrup used for children, can help soothe the Buns inflammed nasal tissue. This applies whether the inflammation is due to infection or alergy. Do speak with your Vet before administering Benadryl to your Bun though
