Sneezing Fits

Hi

My Rex Rabbit, has been having sneezing fits she will sneeze and sneeze for a couple of minutes, she has been like this for the last couple of weeks. I haven't changed hay makers or sawdust. We took her to the vets yesterday, and the vet couldn't find anything wrong with her. She said she was fit and healthy, she gave her some antibiotics which we started yesterday.
Does anyone else's rabbit have sneezing fits, if so what do you did to help the situation

My rabbits have snuffles so are on antibiotics for that. The sneezing gets worse when there's a high pollen count though so I keep them indoors with the windows and doors shut and some fans going to keep them cool :) Might not be very helpful for you though.
 
Are they 'dry' sneezes-ie no nasal discharge ?

When she has a sneezing fit what is she usually doing-eating ? at rest ?

Have you noticed an increase in her respiratory rate ?

Has she lost weight ?
 
No no nasal discharge her nose is a bit wet. She sneezes in the run and in her hutch it doesn't matter where she is she will still sneeze. She is not breathing heavily or fast
 
Hopefully you will see an improvement after 2-3 days on Baytril. Sometimes it can help to give an anti-inflammatory such as Metacam too as the sneezing is often due to the fact that there is some inflammation in the nasal passages.
