While it may resemble a 'cold' in humans, rabbits don't catch colds. A runny nose and sneezing in a rabbit are often signs of an upper respiratory infection, sometimes called 'snuffles.' This can be caused by bacteria (like Pasteurella), viruses, or even allergies or dental issues affecting the nasal passages. It's important to have this checked by a vet familiar with rabbit care, as these infections can become serious if left untreated. They may require antibiotics or other supportive care.
