My rabbit is sneezing

Question
Hi Dana,

My rabbit is about 4 months old and in the last few weeks she has been sneezing a few times a night. She is a very friendly, active and playful rabbit and doesn't have any other symptoms, her eyes and nose are fine and not running, she is still eating and drinking as she always has done, and her behaviour hasn't changed. Could she have an allergy? And if so how do i find out what?

Thanks a lot

Kelly

Dear Kelly,

I think these articles will answer your questions:

Allergies are really not common.  But if there's no discharge, the problem isn't serious (yet).  You might still want to have her checked by an experienced rabbit vet:

to be sure all is well.

Hope this helps.
