Question
we got scratchy from armada flea market she was in with 8 other bunnies she is so well mannered and adoring but she has sneeze attacks and today when she sneezed white snot came out i also found posibly puke it was clear but slimy what should i do? i got vitamins in her water holder already.

Answer
Hi Carol,

she probably is sick, young bunnies from less than reputable sellers are often not cared well for and get sick.

Please find a good rabbit vet around you (not all vets 'do' rabbits) and take her in for an exam.  To find one go:

www.rabbit.org/vets/vets.html

and find a House Rabbit Society-recommended vet near you.

ALso, check out their online web site (www.rabbit.org) and look up nutrition and diet info for bunnies, as well as researching future spay/neuter procedures.  You will need to have this done after she (or he) hits sexual maturity.
