    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.

    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.

I have a 6 yr old male bunny who in the past year has really started to show his age over the past couple of days he has really gone down hill and hasnt been eating too much. I just went out to feed him today and was quite shocked his nose is running alot nad hes sneezing and theres alot of clear liquid coming from it, his coat seems in a awful condition could this be a cold or somthing worse? x
