Help! I just bought by GD a young bunny at the sale barn. Coat looks luster and full eating well drinking well. Does have an occ. sneeze. Doesn't seem ill
except for the sneeze. Nose isn't runny. It did have to drink from a bowl the first 3 days here. Now we have a bottle any reason for concern? Please let me
know as rabbits are new to use. Thanks, Renae

Sneezing by itself isn't bad. The bunny could be allergic to the bedding or hay, or just have dust in it's nose. Check the bunny's front paws to
see if there is matted fur on them. That can be a sign of snot which is bad. The main concern then would be snuffles (which is a kinda catch all phrase for a
cold). It is caused by the pasturella virus and is not curable. The best a vet could do is treat symptoms. But from the sounds of it, as long as there is no
snot, then the bunny should be fine.
By the way, what is GD? Valerie |

Bunnies, cavies and some other rodent type pets will have a little sneezing when they are stressed in the slightest way or adjusting to a new environment, as
well. It is a good idea to keep an eye on the crusty paws, but it could be a harmless adjustment thing, too.
Congratulations on the new "kid"! Bunnies are lots of fun!
