My Netherland dwarf, Barnaby, will be 11 years old in August. The past year, he has been sneezing back-to-back, sometimes for over a minute. It happens at least once a week. He has no discharge or other behavior changes and eats fine. I'm concerned because we don't have any rabbit savvy vets nearby (within an hour and a half drive), so even if I take him in to his current vet, they don't have a lot of bunny experience and he'd have to be vaccinated before his visit, even though he is only ever indoors and I worry he will have a bad reaction, as he is older.
If there is anyone else who has any experience with sneezing bunnies, I'd value advice about what to do and what to watch for. I'm wondering if it could be a reaction to dust or allergies, maybe teeth related?
I use wood pellets, kiln dried and approved for rabbit bedding separated from the rabbits feet with a metal pegboard (metal with holes, so comfortable on the feet) with Timothy hay over the top (with a separate Timothy hay feeder), but the cat litterboxes are currently in the bunny room, so maybe it is dust related?*
