Question
I just got a bunnie about two weeks ago and 3 or 4 days ago he started sneezing the 1st couple days he only sneezed once or twice so i wasnt two concerned but yesterday and today he sneezing at least 15 times in row and his nose is runny. hes still eating  and drinking and playing but he isnt getting any better and i dont have the money to take him to the vet and my mom has already spent enough on vet bills with all my pigs and goats. so i was wondering if there was anything i could do for him to make him better.

Answer
It depends on what the cause of the sneezing is.  I would suggest to take him to a vet if the nasal output is whitish or greenish.  If it is clear it's possibly allergies.

Either way, there is a lot of information on this subject at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#bacteria that you can check out to decide how to proceed.
