Answer

Occasional sneezes in rabbits can be normal, especially if there's dust or irritation in their environment. However, persistent sneezing, especially if accompanied by nasal discharge, watery eyes, lethargy, or reduced appetite, can indicate an upper respiratory infection, often referred to as 'snuffles.' This condition requires veterinary attention as it can worsen if left untreated. Ensure your rabbit's enclosure is clean, dust-free, and well-ventilated. Avoid strong-smelling cleaning products or diffusers near their hutch. If you notice any other concerning symptoms, please seek veterinary consultation quickly, as rabbits can hide illness well. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
