Question
My rabbit "sneezy" is always sneezing and sounding congested, she is 14 years old and has been sneezing like that since last December I was wondering is it bad that she coughs so much I had a vet tech look and she said she did not know much about rabbits but she said as long as she not in pain in didn't appear to be affecting her but I was just wondering if it was naturAl for rabbits to cough in old age and is it natural that she has lived to be 14 or are we breaking some kind of bunny lifespan record here??:)

Answer
hi kait i hink age has alot to do with it, normally rabbits live 5 or 6 years  so at 14 you have a very old rabbit and i must congratulate you on having her for all this time.
as long as she is eating and drinking ok i would not be concerned -what do you put in the cage?
