    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.

    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.

That's either a FB (Foreign body up the nose) or a RTI (Respiratory Tract Infection) at a first look. You may need a culture and sensitivity test by the vet to determine which anti-biotic to treat with.

Basically, your bun has a snotty nose but its up to your vet to find where its coming from.

yeah i figured it was runny nose-but ive been orried it was her teeth.*paranoid*lol ah well have to wait and see.thankfully i'll be seing my rabbit savvy vet tommorow -i coulnt last week.
 
update

well been to vet. he said its one of 2 things-infection but not full blown yet as her lungs and stuff are clear. or shes having a reaction to the dust in the hay.:roll: shes on antibiotics in case but i also have to dip her daily hay in lukewarm water and let dry so dust comes off.:roll: such fun!!! also apparently even indoor buns need vitamin D from daylight-even in winter. on nice days in winter i can put them out for a bit to get their daily dose. its important for their teeth and bones. apparently it wont make them ill as long as you use common sense and dont place them directly in the snow or something. rabbits have a natural compost heap type ting in them which helps with tempature etc... hes a rabbit savvy vet so i trust what he said-and it all made sense. same with grass. if they have no grass at all, its not good as their are sand particles in grass that help wear down their teeth-its just as important than hay. anyway im finished with my essay :lol: :wave:
