Answer
Dear Marc,

You need to find a vet who is more experienced with rabbits.  You can find one here:

www.rabbit.org/vets

The condition you describe could be mange:

but without seeing it, I can't know for sure.  This is why an in-person vet visit to an experienced, rabbit-savvy vet is a must.

For more information about the runny nose and sneezing, please read:

The new vet can also address this problem.

Hope this helps.
