Rabbits sneezing without discharge can sometimes be due to environmental irritants such as dust from hay or bedding, a change in air quality, or even mild stress. However, 'snuffles' (Pasteurellosis) is a common and serious bacterial infection in rabbits that first presents with sneezing, sometimes without discharge, progressing to nasal discharge, breathing difficulties, and conjunctivitis. Young rabbits or those with compromised immune systems are particularly susceptible. While it might be an environmental irritant, given how quickly respiratory issues in rabbits can become severe, it's always best to have a veterinarian experienced in rabbit care examine them. Early diagnosis can prevent the condition from worsening. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
