Dry Sneezing

My little zoo has grown somewhat as I collected two adorable little lads out the freeads on sat, 10 weeks old.

Both appear to be dry sneezing so I've booked a vet appointment.

Apart from teeth, allergies or pastrella could there be anything else causing this?

I'm assuming we can't test for pastrella as there is no discharge and that for tooth roots they'd both need an xray which seems a bit traumatic for such young bunnies.
 
Yes, as far as i'm aware a lower respiratory tract infection can manifest as a dry sneeze. Quick listen with a stethoscope might help with that :)

Thanks. Hope its nothing too serious poor little mites. I was only supposed to be bringing home the one but Hubby is a soft touch and couldn't bear to seperate them so ended up with the two.
 
It could be an allergy to their new hay/bedding, or even the change in weather.
At the beginning my 2 were dry sneezing. There was nothing new in their environment and their lungs were clear. My vet said thatbuns can sometimes get sneezy when the season changes. He gave them some vitamins and it cleared up on its own :D
Hope its something simple with ur little uns too :wave:

One of my other buns actually has hay fever and he's been pretty sneezy lately so I haven't gone into panic mode yet but I'm going on hols in a few weeks and I'd feel better knowing I'd had them checked before I go. The sneezing didn't seem as bad yesterday as it did saturday so I'm hopeful its something straight forward.
