Hi
My 8 year old Nethie has been breathing as if his nose is blocked for a few days (intermitently) so I took him to the vet on Tuesday. Of course on as the vet he was breathing fine. Vet checked heart, tummy/bowels, teeth, watched him breathe and couldn't tell me anything specific. He did say it could be snuffles and has given my antibiotics for him.
Tonight my big girl bun sneezed 3 times and then seemed to be sick; but whatever came out, has obviously come out her nose. She had raggy breathing for a couple of minutes but has now cleaned herself up and has had a wee go at cleaning Bo (she doesn't seem to want to be picked up).
I have called the emergency vet and they have said that I can take her up to be checked out but that I can also just keep an eye on her and make sure they are eating and drinking ok.
One of the things the vet said on Tuesday was that Bojangles seemed lively enough - and he is, he is jumping around, eating and drinking and apart from breathing you would think he was in perfect health.
They are indoor bunnies - is snuffles normal with indoor buns?
As long as Bluebelle seems to settle down, can anyone tell me if they think it will be ok to take her to the vet in the morning.
None of my buns have ever had snuffles before so I'm unsure what to do.
Thanks
