  • Please Note - Medical Advice

    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.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    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.

just heard my rabbit sneeze

Firstly do not worry unless you need to...

Is there any mucus coming from the nose?
Does the nose feel wet to touch?
How long have the sneezes been going on for?
How are his eyes? Do they look clear and bright?
Have you just started or at the end of a bag of hay?

Ok I would recommend a trip to the vets at the earliest convienience.
Do not worry until you know if you need to, he may have a cold wet nose because he has just been drinking or it could be an indication of a upper respitory infection in which case he will need some antibiotics.
 
took bugs to the vets this morning- (sorry meant to let you know this morning)
and he said that there was nothing to worry about - if he gets a discharge from his nose then take him back straight away
