Atticus is sneezing

Is it ever okay for a rabbit to be sneezing?

He just sneezed 10 times in succession, and was wiping his nose with his front paws, then he's still sneezing a little bit now... But less - before I haven't heard him sneeze today, and I've been around him all day etc and he never really sneezes tbh.

There's no discharge that I can see and nothing stuck up his nose (that I can see)

So I guess I'm wondering if it's okay for this to have happened? I mean if it continues obviously I'll be down the vet.. Just didn't know if isolated sneezing was nothing to worry about?

Thanks :)

A one off fit of sneezing is seldom anything to worry about. It is usually the result of the Bunny getting an irritant up their nose. I'd just check the inner sides of his front paws. If the fur is all sticky this might indicate that he has had previous sneezing episodes and has been wiping his nose a lot x

One of mine has been having sneezing fits, and hopefully it's a one off for Atticus. The last time this rabbit of mine had sneezing fits the vet suggested that if it happened again she would put rabbit on her 'protocol'. When it happened again recently we followed the advice and it cleared up within a few hours.

Depends on what's causing it, but hopefully it's not serious :)

Yeaa he's still sneezing a little :( not as violently as when I posted but small sneezes every so often.

I'm wondering if it's the weather, we have all back doors open, but it's so so windy, stuffs getting blown about, maybe something is irritating him. He hasn't gone outside himself though.

My rabbit was finding eating difficult, and none of the others had the problem with the sneezes. Little 'paroxysms' of sneezing over a period of hours ... See how it goes :)

Is it the hay Gracie? Sometimes they can be a bit dusty. One of my timothy hay is quite dusty I think it's the fresh soft cut from this year. Makes me sneeze!
