Runny Nose in Rabbits

Hello,

Can some please help??

I've got a rabbit which is rougly 3 month old, he's male and has had a minor runny nose, however you can hear weezing, I wouldn't say it's really bad but he has been sneezing quite a lot. He did used to sleep in his bed but I moved this into his cage and he stopped going in so I moved it on the outside again (he's an indoor rabbit), other than that he's been eating and running around fine.

I do have an appointment today. But as always i'm thinking about the worst case scenario and hoping it's not too serious. If antibiotics are required I will buy them, but I would just like to ask whether anyone knows how much antibiotics cost for small animals?

Hi there. Looking for help! My 8 year-old Havana rabbit Francois has had loud breathing for some time but my vet told me it’s notjing to worry about at his annual checkup last February. In the last month he’s had a few sneezing fits, and now he’s sneezing and has a runny nose (clear discharge). He’s still very active, eating, drinking, and playing. I’m in a remote location at the moment and can’t get him to an exotic vet for a week and a half. What can I do? Should I be concerned? Thank you!

My 4month old bunny has had a running nose with yellow discharge coming away from her nose and you can hear her snaffly her nose a bit and she occasionally gets a tiny bit of eye discharge, She has lost a bit of weight but she is still eating, drinking and moving around, I want to know how I can make her feel better.

Hello! I just took Kia home for about a week and I noticed that her nose is all the time wet. The fur around her nostrils is also a bit wet. No sneezing, no discharge, clear eyes. She's alert an playful. The only things I noticed is that she doesn't like to sleep in her hide house and sleeps outside (no bedding and around 18 degrees Celsius) and doesn't really like hay (in Mauritius is extremely difficult to find hay and they are mostly eating pellets, but I managed to find in 1 petshop on the island). Can it be because of the temperature? Can it be because of the hay? Thanks a lot!

Someone please respond to this..I’m freaking out because my new bunny I just got a couple weeks ago has a runny nose..it’s a little crusty around it and a little crust around her eyes..I love her so much..my recent bunny had passed away due to his digestive system and I’m just really scared for her..I’m also very low on any income and can’t afford to take her to a vet..no sneezing no coughing and she’s eating and drinking like normal..

I have a 1.5 year old Netherland dwarf cross who has had a wet nose with little / no discharge for a few weeks. Her appetite and behaviour has remained the same but I have noticed she has been drinking more than usual?

I saw the vet and they said to keep her inside as she’s an outside bunny and to come back this week. What could it be?

My bunny, 6-7 weeks old, has white discharge coming from her nose and she sneezes alot, she still eats alot and is still super energetic but she doesn't drink as much water. Could it be a health concern to her? I recently lost a bunny which also had the same discharge, the symptoms were worse and she didn't eat or drink at all.
I noticed that this one nibbles on her teeth when I pet her, is it normal?

My bunny has a bit of ongoing wetness around his nose (only his nose and not his paws), it's clear and watery, i can hear his breathing if i put my ear next to his nose but nothing weird when listen to his lungs, he sneezes a few times throughout the day but apart from that he's eating, pooping and playing just fine, he's freerange and i have tile flooring, i try to sweep as often as i can and refrain from using cleaning products, two people in my house smoke a lot but not near him and we have other pets but he's not in contact with them.
Could this be something caused by the enviroment, like some kind of allergy or should i worry about something more serious?
I was also wondering about treating rabbits with homeopathic medicine, is it safe?

Hi there I have a 3 month old Netherland dwarf who I picked up from a breeder on Monday. She started running at the nose on the way home from the breeder and sneezing as soon as we got home. She has pretty loud breathing off and on and clear discharge. Her sneezing usually comes in fits. I took her to the local farm vet today and they gave her antibiotics for 5 days. I asked if they could test for pastuerella and they said that there wasn't enough snot to send for a test. They diagnosed her with an URI. From what I've read the only cause for URI is pastuerella besides dental issues and foreign bodies in the nose which I know she has neither. The vet said her lungs are clear and that there is a very slim chance that she has pastuerella. Do you have any idea what it could be then? Because how can she have a URI and it not be pastuerella? I have other rabbits and I'm terrified of them catching this disease but I can't keep this new rabbit quarantined forever. Once a rabbit has pasturella (if that's what it is) does it ever go away or does it always remain in their system forever?

I came home to my bunny lying in the same position he was left in after work. I picked him up and he was limp, unable to move. He also had a lot of discharge out of his nose. I don’t have the money to take him to
The vet but I would just like to know what happened to him

i have a 3 month old lop bunny and he has recently had clear/white discharge coming out of one nostril. i have heard him sneeze but his breathing is the same and not loud. he does not have any other signs of illness. he recently got a new hutch, im wondering what could be wrong could he have an infection in only one nostril?

I camehome to my bunny limp and he was covered in diarrhea and had cloudy eyes and discharge from both his eyes and mouth we.gave him medication and he died the next day what can I do to ensure my other fives sadety

my 17 week old mini lop has been sneezing around 7 times in one day and it looks a little damp around his nose. he is acting like normal, happy and hyper and i was unsure about taking him to the vet. we took him outside in our garden for the first time the day before the sneezing started an i was wondering whether their were any connections.

My rabbit Bella started to get a runny nose this morning, and I’m quite worried that it could be an issue with her teeth etc, however as a student I can’t afford a hefty vet bill right now and the vets closest to us don’t do payment plans etc. I was wondering what I could do, I’m worried that her teeth may cause issues but she has a really good diet, she gets a lot of leafy greens and roughage to nibble on, there are always wooden toys in the hutch that she goes to town on and she eats a lot of good quality hay so I don’t know how her teeth wouldn’t be worn down, any help is greatly appreciated.

My bunny has a bit of wetness in his nose, it's clear and watery, he sneezes a few times throughout the day but apart from that he's eating, pooping and playing just fine, he's freerange and i have tile flooring, i try to sweep as often as i can but i wonder if maybe this happens because of the dust?

Hi my rabbit is sneezing and white snot/discharge is coming out of his nose. He only seems to be doing this when around a lot of hay, or when near the Hoover (the first time it happened was because he licked the Hoover). Does it sound like he has allergies? He doesn't have discharge in his eyes, his nose isn't crusty and he seems to be his normal self.

I adopted a young male intact rabbit that had been released outside by his previous owner. He was out running with the wild bunnies here. 2-3 days after we got him home he started sneezing. There was a little bit of clear watery discharge from his nostrils. We switched the litter from pine shavings to paper thinking it was due to the litter and he would improve but the sneezing and clear discharge is still there after 10 days. He is extremely active and does not act sick. His appetite has been very good all along. The sneezing is more in the evening or when he becomes very active. Should I be treating him with antibiotics or is this allergies? I have a neuter appointment for him in 2 weeks. Should I be reschedung that?

Hello,

My lop Tiramisu has a runny nose, the discharge is watery and doesn't dry into anything. The snot comes from one nostril and usually goes infront of the top of his lips or somehow goes up on his nose. He spends a lot more time laying around doing nothing in his cage instead of playing around like he usually does. When he does come out his behaviour seems normal enough. Twice in two weeks he had digestive issues which we resolved by force feeding him, pain meds for his tummy and plenty of massages (I'm thinking one of the tummy issues was because he found his way to a book and ate a full page but you never know so I'm giving you as much background information as I can). He recently started eating this pretty powdery Alfalfa hay, and I think he might have gotten some into his nose but I don't know, I can't see anything when I look into it. Last week he sneezed once and angled his head upward for thirty seconds or so after eating some Alfalfa leaves. He is in the middle of a big shed so there is fur everywhere, I try to clean up his fur everyday just in case. He isn't eating as much as I would want him to but at least he's eating. I don't think his eyes are very watery right now but they were for the few days after my other bunny died from what I believe was a pnemonia. I don't know if they were watery from sadness or if he caught something. My first little angel died on the 2nd of January so it's been over a month. When we found out the older one was sick we separated them and made sure to clean our hands when touching them but we found out the other was sick very late because he showed no symptoms until the morning on the day he died.

If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

I have six rabbits, they all pretty much simultaneously developed thin clear discharge when I switched from a paper based bedding to a pine bedding purchased at PetSmart. There has been no change in their activity level or food or water intake but I one of my does has sneezing fits that I can hear from the other rooms of my apartment. The runny nose seems to go away when they are out of their cages for more than an hour or so. Is this probably just an allergy or should I be concerned?

Hello, I have a lop who is about 4 months old. About a week after I got him I took him to the vet for a physical and he had a slight runny nose and one runny eye.. they gave him antibiotics for 7 days just in case it was pnemonia and it went away. My problem is that every now and then he gets it. He didn't have any bumps and he said his teeth were perfect.. I don't know if i should go back to the vet or if I'm just being paranoid. Oh and the disharge just looks clear plus the discharge from his eye is always coming from the same eye. Any advice?

My baby Copper is about 7 months and has always had a sneezing issue. He had a small case of E. Coli about 2-3 months ago and we did a 2 week antibiotic and that cleared up his runny nose but he still kept sneezing. The vet and me decided he probably also had allergies since he would sneeze either in the litter box or while eating hay. Well today his sneezing got worse and they sound different too. Almost like he’s got stuff in his nose and his nose is also wet as well. And every time he gets picked up he makes a weird noise trying to breathe but he doesn’t make the nose when he is just running around playing. We plan on taking him to the vet as soon as possible but just wanted to see if anyone had an idea of what this could be. As a bunny mom this is seriously concerning and worrying me. Oh and also His attitude and eating/pooping habits haven’t changed a bit.

i honestly dont know what to do with my little guy.. he has been sneezing a long time ago but not a whole lot but sometimes twice or more and he has a runny nose. he puts his head up and i read that it means he is trying to get air and that it should be treated quickly but the thing is i cant because my dad doesnt let me take him to the vet cause we cant afford it especially not for surgery so please tell me what to do because i definitely cant take him to the vet nor afford the surgery. i love him so much and im tearing up right now writing this which sounds kinda dumb since he is just a rabbit but to me he is much more than that .
