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.

Sneezing

Hello
I have two male rabbits, Topsy and Filthy. Topsy has been sneezing for about two weeks, now I notice he sometimes sneezes several times in a row. I think I even heard a small sneeze from Filthy today. They live outside (we live in Uganda) where the outside temperature is around 28 degrees during the day and about 18 at night, so not cold! Neither of them have runny noses. Filthy has pink eyes (unfortunately) and they could be looking a little pinker around the edges,but I could be just imagining that; apart from that they are both eating and pooing and running about as normal.
Is it a cold? Will it just clear up on its own? Any comments would be good.
Cheers
 
Please get him seen by a vet. My Mina had only this symptom (occasional sneezing) and the vet insisted it was the dry air in the house causing it since she had no other symptoms. As it turned out, he was wrong, and by the time more symptoms appeared and he could diagnose it as Pasteurella, it was too far along to save my girl. If you get him seen now, ask to have a culture and sensitivity test, even if the vet thinks it's not necessary.

Sending lots of good thoughts to your little guy! xxx
