I think cookie may have some kind of breathing problem. Quite a few times when he's been drinking (either from a bowl or bottle) he makes funny noises and sometimes ends up sneezing like he's accidentally breathed in some water. I didn't think much of it because i quite often do the same thing. I also posted a while back about him making funny grunting noises, one day he did it whilst he was resting, but since then he mainly does it when he's eating or when I pick him up. Today after giving him his pellets he almost choked, started making horrible noises and trying to paw at his mouth, I grabbed him straight away and did the bunny swing , anyway he was absolutely fine after and went back to eating. Now those 'signs' alone I'd just think oh it was a one off but now im starting to think he may have some issues with breathing and eating/drinking at the same time.
I'm taking him to the vets tomorrow morning, they are good with rabbits but I like to get a bit of information beforehand because I know there are some very experienced owners and people who have used much savvier vets on this forum. Any ideas or anything I should discuss with the vet? What checks should they do on him, can they look inside a rabbits nose? I know rabbits can get things like snuffles but cookie's nose has always been completely clear, no discharge or anything
