Sneezing

Hi.

I'm new here so hope I've put this in the right section.

We've got a 6 month old harlequin cross (pancakes) who has recently started sneezing alot. I've checked and there's nothing around her nose, her eyes seem fine so I'm kinda at a lose as to what could be the problem.

She's an indoor rabbit, with a large cage, woodshavings on the base and a litter corner with wood based cat litter.

Nothing has changed in her cage since day one but would appreciate any ideas/advice/thoughts on it.
 
She needs to be examined by a Vet. Sneezing can be a symptom of a Respiratory Tract Infection even if there is no nasal discharge. Infact 'dry sneezes' are potentionally more concerning as they *might* indicate an infection in the LOWER Respiratory tract.

Allergies are another possibility, but without a full examination its impossible to say what is wrong

She may be allergic to the woodshavings. I would remove them and make an appointment for the vet to be sure.
