Woody is sneezing

Two days ago I saw Wood sneeze about five times in a row. I watched him for a while afterwards and yesterday too but he didn't seem to do it again.

Earlier the same happened where he sneezed lots of times in a row.

A similar thing happened about four months ago and the vet put him on Baytril. He has an appointment on Tuesday for a teeth check up. Should I be getting him to the vets before that??

I am so so worried.
 
It is likely that his sneezing is related to his Dental Disease

Elongated tooth roots can effect the nasal passages causing inflammation and then secondary infection.

I cant remember if you said that Woody has had skull radiographs to assess the tooth roots ?

I would get him to the Vet before Tuesday if possible.

Good luck
 
Hi Jane.

He has had skull radiographs before but that was a good 4+ months now.

His dental disease relates to tooth spurs.

I will call the vet as soon as they open. :(
 
I have just returned from the vets. Wood was given Baytril. He said there was a 'bit' of nasal discharge.

He listened to his chest but didn't hear anything noticeable.

He didn't suggest scans of his head today because he wants me to discuss it with his normal rabbit vet on Tuesday :?

That sounds very reasonable

Radiographs will only confirm or rule out TRE, not offer any other treatment options. The next time Woody has a Dental you could request some more Radiographs are taken :)
