Rabbit sneezing but no discharge...

Hi i have a rabbit who lives with his brother (both neutered) in the same hutch and he has dental problems with his front teeth and his back teeth. He has to go to the vet every 4-5 weeks (depending on how long his front teeth have gotten) and so has regurlar checks at the vet. He also has to every 4-5 months go to have his back teeth filed down as sometimes they get sharp. He is booked in to see the vet next tuesday for his myxi injection and dental for his front teeth.

The thing is just now i noticed him sneezing and immediatley checked for discharge just in case it was snuffles or myxi but could not find any white discharge at all. What i want to know is, is this the start of snuffles or am i being too paranoid about it? He doesn't sneeze a lot and as i say he goes to the vet almost every month and apart from his dental problems, the vet always says he is fine.
 
How many sneezes did he do at the same time then? I had a bunny with Pasturella and sometimes she used to have sneezing fits which were awful and used to last a long time and her medication was usuallly increased at these times. If your bun is only doing a couple and no discharge hopefully he's OK maybe tell your vet and see what he thinks? :)
 
only a few. they were all quite close together. he did them really fast, at first i thought he was having a fit or having head tilt. i got him out the hutch to check him and he seems fine. i'll keep an eye on him and then ask about it at the vets on tuesday.
