My rabbit's nose is runny, and he's sneezing a lot. Is it a cold?

[]

Answer

A runny nose and sneezing in rabbits should always be taken seriously, as it can indicate an upper respiratory infection, often referred to as 'snuffles'. Unlike a human cold, rabbit respiratory issues can quickly escalate and become dangerous. Causes can range from bacterial infections (like Pasteurella) to allergies or dental problems affecting nasal passages. You might also notice discharge from the eyes or difficulty breathing. Maintaining a clean environment and ensuring proper ventilation can help, but immediate veterinary attention is crucial for diagnosis and treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
