My rabbit keeps sneezing and has a wet nose. Is this a cold or something worse?

[]

Answer

Sneezing and a wet nose in rabbits can be indicative of a respiratory infection, often referred to as 'snuffles.' This can be caused by bacteria like Pasteurella, or sometimes even allergies or environmental irritants. Untreated, respiratory issues in rabbits can quickly become serious due to their delicate respiratory systems. It's important to consult with a rabbit-savvy veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis. They may recommend antibiotics or other supportive care. Avoid delaying treatment, as simple colds in rabbits can rapidly progress to pneumonia. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
