Sneezing bunny

New Kit
On friday we acquired a new addition to our family, a little baby doe, aged approx 8 weeks. She is ful of energy and eats and drinks plenty. But last night (sunday) she developed a bit of a sneeze. I have done a bit of research and it looks like it is allergies (her front feet are fine, her eyes are not watery, and her nose, although slightly wet, is not discharging anything white/yellow).

If it is allergies how important is it to find the cause and protect her from it? Can anyone suggest how best to find out what has caused the allergy? And if anyone thinks it could be something else please let me know.

Many thanks for any help.
 
The first suspect would be anything dusty like sawdust or cheap hay. Anything like that around?
 
try changing her bedding over...i would suggest carefresh, hay in a rack and megazorb for litter tray also could try using the shredded paper bedding in hutch as thats a nice cosy typev thing... anything dusty try and remove if poss.
 
Yes she is in doors. Am going to chnage her hay and sawdust to see if that helps her at all.

Thanks guys.
