No, its not normal.
Could be one of a few things;
Dusty hay/environment
Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI)
Foreign Body stuck up his nose
Bottom two need veterinary attention. First one is something for you to think about
:wave:
yea i was but i was only going to vaccinate him against vhd seen as hes never outside and i realised even with him being a house bunny vhd cud come in on anything.
but that depends on vets if there doing a deal for them both then hell get both. it seems like its going to be a while until he can be unless i get a job which im hoping is soon.
Not that i wanted to change the thread details, but you do realise that myxi can get into the house just as easily as it could be outside?
ive just read up on snuffles and he does get a bit of white discharge near his eye every so often. i thought snuffles had more syptoms than that i though the rabbit doesnt normally want to eat or drink ?
no i didnt cud u explain that a bit more so that i know plz. because i though it cud only be passed by direct contact?:?
Extreme snuffles may have. Barney has always seemed well when his snuffles plays up, hes himself and eats and drinks just fine. His snuffles sometimes only presents itself with watery eyes, nothing major, just a bit of fur getting wet and then drying, like dogs have naturally. Sometimes if its a little worse it is sneezing, with or without the watery eyes. If it is worse it is sneezing fits, several sneezes in a row. He has mild chronic snuffles. He also has some permenant damage to his respitory system because at some point (before I got him) his snuffles was left untreated - so I would definately get Scooter down the vets asap if you suspect snuffles, as leaving it can do permenant damage and make it more likely for him to have problems in the future.
okay thanks i think ill get him done for that now :shock:Myxi is spread through fly bites and the like, so its perfectly plausible for indoor bunnies to get them -
Quote: Myxomatosis is spread by direct contact with an affected animal or by being bitten by fleas or mosquitoes that have fed on an infected rabbit. The myxomatosis virus does not replicate in these insect hosts, but can be physically carried by an insect's mouthparts, i.e. from an infected rabbit to another susceptible animal. Due to the potential of insect vector transmission, pet rabbits may be susceptible in enzootic areas and vaccination is highly recommended.[5]
