My rabbit has yellow discharge from its nose and is sneezing. What should I do?

[]

Answer

Yellow discharge from the nose accompanied by sneezing in a rabbit is a concerning symptom, often indicative of an upper respiratory infection, sometimes referred to as 'snuffles.' This can be caused by bacteria like Pasteurella. Rabbits are very susceptible to respiratory issues, and these can quickly worsen, potentially leading to pneumonia if untreated. Other signs might include matted front paws from wiping the nose, loss of appetite, or difficulty breathing. It's important to seek veterinary attention promptly. Your vet can diagnose the cause and prescribe antibiotics or other supportive care. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
