I have just looked through a health thread & realised that Lucy sneezing is a bad sign. Im extremely worried now. What does this mean? Im assuming i should get her to a vet asap?

Continuous sneezing could be a symptom of a respiratory tract infection, so yes she does need to be examined by a Vet

How long has the sneezing been going on ?

Is it productive, ie does she have a snotty nose ?

Is she eating and toileting as normal and apparently 'well' within herself ?

How old is she and what bedding is she kept on ?
 
I would get her Vet checked

Also what colour is her discharge, if she has any ?

Has she ever been dental checked ?
 
She is 4 mths no discharge. Eating & pooin as normal & seems well. I use softwood bedding at the bottom of her litter tray but cover it with a thick layer of hay. Im taking her for a check up as soon as i can get an appt. Waiting on the out of hrs vet calling back
 
I'm not sure if this is something all rabbits do, but when my bunny is molting he gets all sneezy because his hairs get up his nose! Just something to bear in mind if the vet says nothing is wrong and if she doesn't have any other symptoms (discharge, off food/water, not pooing). If your worried though it might be best to go to the vets to put your mind at ease?
 
Just bk from the vet who was too busy lecturing me for using an emergency appt to really give me the answers i was looking for :( He gave Lucy some antibiotic & said her teeth etc were fine so ive to go bk in 2 weeks.
 
What a horrible vet. :(

If you feel your animal is in distress of course you should use an emergency appointment.

Is it baytril you've been given? Is the course for two weeks? That's the best place to start so hopefully it will all clear up. Baytril tastes horrible so some bunnies get very stressed having it by syringe. If you have trouble come back to us for some advice on hiding it. :wave:
