sneezy rabbit

[stanleybump]

hi all,
my rabbit is about 5 months old and a male. but he seems to have gone very ill recently. He won't stop sneezing has a really snotty nose and has a huge bald patch on his back where he's nibbling himself.
He lives in my kitchen do you think i should put him outside for fresh air or would that make him worse??

Have you asked the advice of a Vet?They are best qualified to diagnose problems with animals, especially if they see it.

Take him to the vet and soon, it could possibly be Snuffles, read below. Courtesy of peteducation.


Snuffles is one of the most common diseases that strikes domestic rabbits. Almost every rabbit breeder or long-term rabbit owner has dealt with or is at least familiar with this devastating respiratory disease. This disease is very contagious and can also affect the eyes, ears, and other organs. If detected early, it can be treated, but it can become chronic or fatal if left untreated. This article will help rabbit owners identify, understand the treatment, and prevent snuffles in their own rabbits.
