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.

My bunny sounds like a Guinea Pig!

Hi,

My rabbit has starting making squeaking noises - practically all the time and it sound like the noise a guinea pig makes. She doesn't have any discharge from her nose or eyes and other than the squeaking is very lively, eating and drinking normally so is this something I should be worried about?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Sounds like she needs a vet to me! Could be a chronic respiratory infection (got an intermittent squeeker myself on antibiotics) or an obstruction of some sort. Either way it is not at all normal despite her normal behaviour - buns are expert at hiding illness as they are prey animals.

Agreed. :)
 
Yes she is spayed. I also admit she's a little overweight as she lives alongside another bun who doesn't get to the food as quick!

She's also stopped making the noises this morning so I'm keeping a close eye on her and will take her to the vet tomorrow if she starts again.

Thanks everyone x
