Answer

Rabbits are susceptible to respiratory infections, often referred to as 'snuffles,' which can be bacterial. Symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, and sometimes discharge from the eyes indicate an infection that requires veterinary attention. Unlike a human cold, these infections in rabbits can quickly become serious if left untreated and may affect their ability to breathe or eat. It's important to maintain a clean environment and ensure proper ventilation. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance, but definitely get your rabbit checked by a vet.
