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.

sneezing and dribbling

I've noticed Amy sneezing a bit this evening, no discharge though should i be worried? :? she also has a small dewlap which always seems to be wet is there any reason for this other than a tooth problem?
 
Rabbits can get a fungle infection under there dew lap if its big because there is not enough air getting underneath the dew lap making it humid and moist. Best to get her to the vets to see what the problem is. If it teeth then she maybe in pain if its got to the stage of her dribbling. val
 
she's off to the vets tomorrow I was just wondering about other causes. She is very dribbly but doesn't appear to be in any discomfort at all! :?
 
Rabbits are naturally good at hiding discomfort as if they didn't they would be preyed on in the wild. That's what makes it hard to tell if something is trulely wrong with your bun - you may suspect something is up but there's no solid facts.
Before I took Squishy home, his teeth were so long they were just about to grow into his gum. This was obviously going to cause discomfort to him, but he hopped around and ate his pellets like a normal bun!
My Nethie Mary has a suspected kidney infection right now - he's lost half his weight but he's mostly his usual self - different enough for me to know something's up but still active and eating.
It's a natural defence so very normal for buns to not show their pain until it's quite extreme
