Hi all,

We're taking Noel to the vet tomorrow to have his nails clipped and am going to mention him sneezing - we've had him just under 2 weeks and he sneezes a lot Am worried about him.

What should vet do to see if it's an infection? I don't want to be fobbed off with him saying it's an allergy in case it isn't.

He seems to drink quite a lot, although I don't know how much is normal anyway I suppose. I guess he has about a quarter of a drinks bottle a day, if not more.

Thank you

Does he have any mucus around or coming out of his nose?
Does his nose feel wet to touch?
Are his eyes clear and shiny?
No discharge coming from his eyes?
 
No mucus or wet nose. His eyes are bright and clear - no discharge. He seems absoloutely fine but am worried about the sneezing.
 
The vet will check for all of the things I asked and also have a listen to his lungs to check they are clear.
Is bun wheezing at all?
Are you at the begining/end of a bag of hay?
Are you using dust extracted hay?
Do you burn scented candles or insence around bun?
 
Did the vet check your rabbits teeth? My rabbit just had dental surgery because his teeth were growing into his sinuses, this was seen on a head xray. My rabbit was sneezing his head off before we knew what it was! His eyes were clear and his nose was dry for a while before things got worse and the teeth were removed. If your bun keeps sneezing maybe check the teeth if you haven't already :)
