Re my last post.
My male (not the bunny who has been sneezing with no discharge on and off for the last week) has just sneezed with a small amount of white discharge, so I’m assuming he has got snuffles. We are going to take them both to the vet tomorrow morning providing there isn’t some miracle that it was just a one off and neither sneeze again - unlikely I know. It is also a bank holiday as well as covid which will make this difficult and expensive, so in the unlikely event that neither of them show any more signs then I will likely get them checked later in the week anyways.
Do you think her sneezing was the start of snuffles and she’s passed it onto him (he was already vulnerable and he’s had it before)? But so far today she hasn’t sneezed at all. I’ve heard some rabbits can recover from mild cases of snuffles on their own but I don’t know if this is fact. On the other hand, I think it’s likely she’s already exposed if it was him who got it first (and her sneezing occasionally is something else) as she grooms him constantly and they obviously live in the same space. However, last time the male had it, the female never got it so I don’t know.
Both are acting completely normal and eating fine apart from the male sneezing a few times.
Also, if/when I do go, should I take them to the vets in separate carriers to reduce risk of transmission? They have done this before, but my female is especially anxious so I don’t know if being in the same carrier would help this.
All advice/help appreciated.
