Help! Doughnut's sneezing? Well I think she is.

Heard a noise about 6 times in a row which sounded like a sneezes, I went over and she was still making the noise and shaking her head. She then decided to beg while doing it. I was concerned so went to get food to see if she followed me, she did and now it's stopped and she ate her bit of muesli.

Hard to describe but has anyone else had their rabbit sneeze a lot in one succession then stop. It wasn't a choking noise. Any noise that I don't recognise concerns me though. She is happily eating hay now.

Alfie occasionally does this - I think he just sniffs a bit of hay dust and it makes him sneeze :lol: there's no discharge and the vet's listened to his chest recently, so I don't think it's anything more than when we sometimes have sneezing fit for no reason :)

I have a sneezy rabbit! Was there white discharge? If so, a vet's visit would be advised.

I find rabbits can be, or become, allergic even to hay, and certainly to dust. Perhaps there was a bit of a new smell around?
 
Ludo does this, it's usually dust up his nose from dried herbs.

Unless she keeps doing it or there's a discharge she's probably just sneezing something out!
