My rabbit's nose seems wet. Is this normal or a sign of sickness?

[]

Answer

A wet nose in rabbits can sometimes indicate a health issue, unlike dogs where it's usually normal. It might be a sign of 'snuffles,' a common respiratory infection caused by bacteria like Pasteurella. Other symptoms might include sneezing, discharge from the nostrils, matted fur on the front paws from wiping the nose, or difficulty breathing. If you notice persistent wetness, discharge, or any other respiratory signs, it's best to consult a vet specializing in exotic pets. Early intervention can prevent the condition from worsening. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
