I keep pet rabbits in my flat and have lost 2 rabbits due to infectious pneumonia (autopsy), but couldn't find the direct cause and the 3rd rabbit (4 years old) is symptom free. First rabbit (4 years old) contacted the disease from unknown source and died in just 2 days regardless of the antibiotic treatment (no fever, no sneezing, no mucus, just heavy breathing - holding nose up and no appetite). 3 months later got another rabbit (10 weeks old), but couldn't 100% quarantine it in a 1 room flat. The new rabbit had nasal discharge and mild sneezing from day one which got better but in ~1,5 weeks he suddenly developed similar symptoms and died in pneumonia in 3 days. Got a different kind of antibiotic that time. We are afraid to adopt any new rabbit as a companion for the remaining one which seems to be a symptom free carrier. Any advice? :(

That sounds like it may be a nasty viral infection that the remaining rabbit is immune to. I'm not sure that I would bring in any new rabbits, given the recent history of the other two rabbits, sadly.

The patient is young kit much smaller then the rest of litter. Sits in the food dish. And is not as active as the rest. I suspect pneumonia. Is there anything I can try before taking to the vet.

If Kit is not thriving at 3 weeks and you feel that she is having breathing problems, that is better to get taken care of sooner rather than waiting, as it can have a terrible outcome. She should see a veterinarian to see what treatment might be needed. I hope that she is okay.

I have a two year old rabbit that doesn't seem to want to move. hell only move to change position and then not move again.He hasn't been going to the bathroom as much, but when he does pee it's really smelly more than usual. Lastly he's been eating but not as much.

A reduction in appetite and movement is concerning, smelly urine may an indicator of infection or the presence of by products in the urine (ammonia etc…); you should visit your Veterinarian for an examination to be on the safe side as some issues like gastrointestinal stasis can be life threatening.

I have a 4 year old rabbit that is breathing very heavy and wheezing. She also has extremely watery eyes and they are very red. She’s been sneezing more than usual the past couple of days and hasn’t been moving much. She has been eating much slower than usual but not any less.

It sounds like Bunny may have a severe infection like Pasteurellosis (snuffles) which is common in rabbits, you should visit your Veterinarian for an examination and to receive treatment. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM https://wagwalking.com/rabbit/condition/snuffles-pasteurellosis
