Runny nose and sneezing in rabbits should always be taken seriously, as rabbits do not typically 'catch colds' like humans do. These symptoms could point to an upper respiratory infection, often caused by bacteria like Pasteurella multocida (known as 'snuffles'), or even dental issues affecting the nasal passages. It could also indicate allergies or environmental irritants. Untreated respiratory infections can quickly worsen in rabbits and lead to more severe conditions like pneumonia. It's essential to consult a vet specializing in exotics as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
