My pet rabbit has a runny nose and is sneezing. Is it a cold or something serious?

[]

Answer

Rabbit 'colds' can be quite serious, as what often appears to be a common cold can be signs of pasteurellosis, a bacterial infection known as 'snuffles'. Symptoms include nasal discharge, sneezing, and sometimes conjunctivitis. It's important to have your rabbit examined by a vet promptly, as it can escalate to pneumonia or other severe conditions if left untreated. Keep your rabbit warm and stress-free until your appointment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
