Frequent sneezing in rabbits is often a sign of respiratory issues and should always be taken seriously. Unlike 'colds' in humans, rabbit sneezes can indicate a bacterial infection like pasteurellosis ('snuffles'), allergies, dental problems affecting the nasal passages, or even foreign bodies. If left untreated, these conditions can escalate into more severe respiratory distress. Watch for other symptoms such as discharge from the nose or eyes, reduced appetite, or lethargy. A vet visit is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment, as rabbits can deteriorate quickly. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
