Advice: I think my bunny has snuffles!

Hi all,
I have two bunnies which I rescued from a centre in June, they are both around 10 months old now, the boy Taco is a lop and he regularly has sneezing fits and blows his nose, I've noticed the end of his nose looks a little wet and sometimes has a little bit of discharge where he's blown the snot out! His eyes look fine and not runny. If I put my head close to his his breathing is quite loud and sounds exactly like we do when were all bunged up with a cold! My vet said it's nothing to worry about, but I'm not happy at how easily he dissmissed it and didn't even bother to take a swab for testing. I'm worried if I leave it it could develop into something worse and not mention how it must feel for him, I know I hate it when I have a cold and my nose is all bunged up! The girl, Bell seems fine and never sneezes so I don't think she has it. I read that 20 drops of Echinacea in the water and a herbal bronchial formula could help? Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I really think you need to ask for a recommendation to a bunny savvy vet in your area and get your rabbit some appropriate treatment.
