My rabbit died on my birthday because of this. My vet who sees 300 plus rabbits for a rescue, delayed treatment of septic arthritis and he lost movement in one leg. He then had 2 surgeries to clear the abscess, ongoing antibiotics bc the prescription was not strong enough, and in the end, they gave me an incompetent doctor who refused injection or iv antibiotics based on inconclusive blood results, he did not reference the rabbits history and he did not communicate with the owner of the practice, the original doctor who did the blood test that day. They were very cold with me, the 2nd doctor told me to let him go bc I had other rabbits and no money for more tests. He told me to let him do his job. I told him what my rabbit needed and he refused to listen. I knew my boy had the infection, needed help for the infection, anemia, and eventual sepsis. I eventually sent him a photo of my rabbits eye with pus coming out after his death.The only emergency vet they referred me to did not have the exotics vet working at the time and refused service. It was an absolute disaster and I am not doing well. If vets don't care about the animals do they also not care about destroying the lives of the human? I also caught it late because the infection was internal and my friend consumed my time the same week. I had to clear her house to be ready for sale because she left he crazy ex and moved out of state. I had to deal with the crazy ex and my mind was fogged. The only hope i have now is connecting with my boy spiritually. I have so many regrets.
Omfg I’m super sorry for your loss!! I hope you are doing better now… please know that your baby understands and loves you unconditionally and is waiting for you. I was also seeing an incompetent vet so I know how that feels. My heart goes out to you!!
This is very helpful! I caught my bunny’s early symptoms . She had clear watery discharge from her nose and was sneezing from time to time. I went straight to the vet after doing a quick google research. And thankfully! She has recovered! Her nose is dry as ever and she’s back to playing and eating normally.
My bunny had one runny eye, muccus was white. I thought it was snuffles, so i waited, i thought it would get better. After one week we went to vet and he had runny eye because teeth spike. After second month free roaming, thanks to your channel, is much energetic, happy and thrustwothy.
A rabbit sneezing is adorable (as long as it's not all the time obviously). Freya had a watery eye once and it cost £60 to find out that there was nothing wrong! 😂 I never thought of checking their paws for mucus, thanks for that! Head tilt is also a sign of ecuniculli so get your rabbit to the vet asap if you notice a head tilt, it's very treatable but will cause serious health problems if untreated. I'm currently having to treat all four of my rabbits for ecuniculli!
I wish I had known about this earlier. Yesterday I noticed something was wrong with my rabbit and I took him to the vet. I'm worried that I took him too late. He was sneezing but I thought it was the dusty hay and never saw the discharge from his nose.
Thank you! Im watching carefully for this in an older rabbit. So far shes good but your information was VERY helpful to know what to watch for. We are fortunate to have all the resources and time we need to keep her well. You have been a great help! ❤
You really are the BEST Bunny channel Amy ❤️ Excellent information here, and so well delivered. I hope never to see the snuffles in my bunnies, but now I’m educated about what it looks like. Greetings from Australia, and I’m following your advice about bonding my new magpie harlequin (Jasper) with my 4 year old deaf mini lop (Lily) ….so far so good, its only been a week of following your advice, but they haven’t shown any aggression to each other yet. I tried before seeing your video about bonding which ended in a huge fur fight between them. I stopped the process until I checked out your bonding video, and decided to start the process this week. So much better. Lily was previously bonded with our other bunny Holly, who sadly passed away last year. So I think bonding will just be a slow process, but I’m willing to but in all the effort to see if Lily and Jasper will become friends 🥰
My bunny had multiple bouts of severe stasis for WEEKS each time! It was such hell for both of us because force feedings happened every 3-4 hours (I’m not working right now). Both of us hardly slept. We were seeing an incompetent rabbit vet, he refused X-rays and didn’t do an in depth mouth exam because that would need anesthesia in his medical opinion. I checked with another vet after the 3rd time he went through weeks of stasis and they refused to treat him (“go ask your regular vet”) but charged me for the visit! I then remembered a vet that was recommended by an ER vet a while back and called her office and she completed the mouth exam AND an ear exam with an otoscope within minutes at the beginning of the appointment. She saw blockages in both ears filled with pus and with the quick mouth exam she saw one side of his mouth had overgrown teeth. I’m so relieved someone helped us! I’m just worried about what happens with long term snuffles?
Thought Chestney had snuffles, took him to vet right a way!!! Allergic to the "approved" bedding. Then I saw your video about YOU DON'T NEED BEDDING!!! 👍🏻🙏🏻💜🤟🏻
My rescue bun Simba (and his entire family) has Pasteurella. Thankfully he is doing great now, had to put him on an aggressive treatment soon after adopting him. I don’t think the rescue ever treated him fully but I’m so grateful he is happy and living his best life now. Unfortunately it seems there was a Pasteurella outbreak at the rescue
I should note his mom was found abandoned at a park and gave birth to him and 5 siblings only three days after being rescued so it is possible that Mama got sick before coming to the rescue and passed it on to her babies. My vet says almost all rabbits have pasteurella but like humans some bunnies are more sensitive and depending on many factors some may never show symptoms
All my bucks seem to get sick. When the first one got sick, we had him tested, no biggie, but he did get antibiotics. The other two now have the same symptoms, and it is very frustrating. No changes in behavior, they seem to have good teeth, they eat well. Unfortunately, it's $500 every single time we visit the vet, which is ridiculous. Apparently dogs are far cheaper.
You may want to cover the importance of subcutaneous (injected) antibiotics in rabbits someday. I don't know how veterinary care is in the US but in the UK many vets are not well versed in rabbit biology and are prone to prescribing oral antibiotics which are terrible for their gut microbiome, risking gut stasis. Antibiotics should also be accompanied with a probiotic supplement.
My rabbit started having sneezing fits 2 years ago. We took him to the vet after we could hear him breathing. The vet did nothing. He still has these sneezing fits and cold-like symptoms and I feel like I’ve been careless as an owner to just let it go on, but the vet says she just doesn’t know.
Is she a rabbit savvy vet? Ask them to wash the buns ear and nose and take a culture. Send to the lab and wait for results and ask for antibiotics and probiotics
@@ladyt9000 Thank you, she's much better now! It was very tough, the first antibiotic didn't work, so had to change to another one. She was in such a bad state at one stage that she barely ate and didn't drink at all, so I had to get up every hour to feed her with a syringe. I think if I didn't do that she definitely would've passed away... Don't think I'll have another another pet in the future, too much stress, and I can't bare to watch them suffer.
My bun caught snuffles due to treating his sore hocks (he is a thumper, especially when zooming or blinking), turns out they are linked, we finally have him on a more intense med, doxy. I caught it right away, so although it has been a stubborn bug to treat, he will 100% recover. Still working on it though, been 5 months of off and on meds for sore hocks then snuffles, before we could try the more intense one. So far, he has shown more improvement in 4 days on this new one than 4 weeks on the other one 💕
It's really late at night and I just saw my bunny runny nose he looks weak and not curious anymore doesn't sniff anything he's just lying I'm really scared tomorrow morning immediately I'm taking him to vet. Lord please give him strength to survive the night
OMG! He's eating and drinking plenty of water! But whenever I search in google, it says also drinking too much water is abnormal, I have booked an appointment with the vet now. But really scared 😞😞
My rabbit has almost all symptoms, I took her to the vet and he put her on baytrill which didn't work. Then he switched antibiotics and it didn't work either. The medicine will ease the symptoms for ~15days and then the snuffles are back. My rabbit is 10 years old and I don't know what to do to help her. Any help you can give??
My rabbit always sneezes after it drinks water from what I can tell. It scares me in the middle of the night cause it always makes me concerned my rabbit isn't well
Panacure meds the vet gave saved one of my babies it’s very very hard when u dealing with head tilt and devastating to see, but with care and persistence she’s doing amazing u need to force feed and water round the clock it was a mess but well worth it easier thing I found when she started drinking on her own I mixed meds with her daily dose of water cuz once they have life back they won’t take meds well lol
I am going through this rn, my bun is still on antibiotics and I have to force feed it and it's such a struggle. Initially fights with me for about 5-10 minutes and then gives up and let's me get the syringe through. I've been to the vet 3 times now out of panic but they just keep saying to give the meds and she'll be ok but I am lacking sleep thinking about the poor thing having to mouth breathe basically 😢
My bunny sneezes 3 times in a row his nose is always dry but my room /house is dusty i have a bird and shes dusty i sweep and everything but its not enough need a air filter i checked all paws they are clean and dry his fur is really nice and clean i keep his box clean daily btw something opens your curtan behind you like a white mist
My male bunny sneezes....its been a year since he started sneezing..... culture report showed presence of e coli..... tried multiple antibiotics,drops, nebulization,,, nothing worked.... still sneezes..... it's really hard to get rid of
My rabbit keeps sneezing since a few days because her hay had pollen 😮 I actually picked it out and there was so much of it in the bag. I ordered a new bag of hay now and there is no visible pollen but she just sneezed again though she has no other symptoms of snuffles
Hello, i would really appreciate any advice about my rabbit, who seems to have early snuffle like symptoms. I spoke to a vet from a veterinary hospital that specialises in small exotic animals to see whether i should come in and she said no, that during the first cold snaps of winter it is common for rabbits to have irritated mucous membranes and that i should keep the humidity in my home high and wait and see whether the symptoms progress. Can you, or anyone else in this comment section confirm this occurence to give me some peace of mind? Additional information: my rabbit had extensive blood work done a little over a week ago that came back normal. An xray of her lungs done to rule out lung cancer also looked healthy. The tests were done because I noticed her breathing was shallow and fast but without flared nostrils. Her breathing has since stayed the same. New symptoms are a whistling breathing noise when grooming or excited, wet nose with transparant discharge, slightly matted paw fur, a fit of sneezing a day that lasts about 5 seconds, shallow breathing and occasional strange wheezing sounds when scratching her ears. Her appetite and digestion are normal. Also, I brought my rabbit inside a week and a half ago because of the cold and her arthritis. The weather really has been terrible, with snow, rain and strong winds. Usually she sleeps on a glassed off terrace and spends her days outside. Just in case this is information is useful. The vet is hesitant to start a treatment because if it is a bacterial infection it is difficult to find out the strain to use the correct antibiotic. Also, antibiotics are apparently quite damaging to digestive health so using them when not needed is not recommended. I would love to have a second opinion from somebody with experience :)
Her "symptoms" disappeared within a few days. They reappeared this winter and after installing a humidifier (and removing fir tree branches from her room) they went away the next day. In my case I think that the vet was right and my central heating just makes the air too dry. In retrospect it also makes total sense why she was breathing so fast. She was an angora rabbit who has grown a thick winter coat and was used to temperatures of 0 degrees celcius. It's no wonder that she felt hot when moved inside and was trying to cool down. But I just want to say that this was one specific case and just because it didn't end up being anything serious with my rabbit does not make respiratory diseases any less serious and success of treatment any less time-dependent. Hope I could help and your rabbit feels better. @@morganwolfe2813
Have you by chance ever encountered scab like discharge on the face of your bunnies? Mine seem to be at the base of his whiskers and appear clear/ greenish in color. They feel like little scabs or dried discharge. I've tried removing them with my fingers but I haven't had luck getting them off. 😢
My bunny is 2 months old. He had one food and he was eating it a lot of it he has a lot of energy,he doesnt have runny nose or watery eyes,he drinks water like always,but just when he got this new other food he isnt eating a lot of it,he is very picky about it...It isnt that he doesnt eat at all,he is but not a lot like before with other food,is that normal? And too,he had one stick with food and when he got that stick he started eating a little less and he eats his hay and everythong just that less eating...So should i be warned of something?
My bunnies sneeze when they're digging in the litter box, I'm assuming they're flicking up dust, they have no other symptoms just a random sneeze, usually a double then nothing for a good while
My girl wheezes like something's wrong but not only did the vet not mention her sounding like there was a problem, she was also on antibiotics for an ear infection and the wheezing still persists. Do some bunnies just sound that way because of their size?
My hare Haas has some simptoms like thick mucus, a lot of sneezing and he always lifts one of his hind legs up... I can't catch him and take it to the vet and I can't do anything. Please help... Thank you!🐰🐰🐰
Hi, i love your videos i know this is off topic but i have a question, i have 2 20 week old baby rabbit and im not sure if i should start leafy greens yet i got them off a farm a few days ago so they didnt have that option for them because they were grass fed. if it is time to add the leafy greens into their diet is it okay if i just use ones i got from the store because i am not sure if they used pesticides but they are means for humans i am not sure. i am so sorry if i dont sound educated about bunnies at the moment its because i did all my research but i completely missed this part thank you for your time:).
helloo!! first of all congrats on becoming a bun parents! you can actually start introducing veggies to ur bun. start off with one vegetable at a time and give them in small amounts (ie give a tiny bit of the veggie everyday, slowly increasing in size). it’s hard to find vegetables that are completely pesticide free unless they’re organic, but just remember to rinse the vegetables before feeding them to your bun and it should be good :)) remember to google what kinds of vegetables can be fed to buns!
Hello I'm new to your channel, I have a rabbit I'm concerned about she sneezes and sounds like she coughs with mucus in airway. She has no discharge, no eye ozz. I've never had a mini Dutch (have had full sized doutch) she is my first and I hope it's not a mini thing. Any help would be appreciated
I have a standard Rex that is 6 months old and has had a sneeze/runny nose that lasts a few days and disappears. This is the 4th time. He is never lethargic. His brother in the same large cage has never shown any symptoms even though they are always playing, eating from the same bowl and drinking from the same water bottle. Could this be snuffles?
I noticed that my rabbit 3 years old started sneezing 1 month ago. I didn't see watery eyes or wetness on his nose. And 2 weeks ago I took it to the vet, but until now he still sneeze when eat hay and eat pellets. Does anyone know why my rabbit is like that? Can my rabbit recover?
My bunny has rabbit snuffles, and has to have antibiotics. I'm a new owner, and have no idea how to give him his medicine, via a syringe. Any advice would be appreciated.
Did your bun ever recover? I just got a tiny 8week old Holland Lop that seems to have snuffles, I too struggle with how to give the medicine via syringe. I’m so worried because I don’t want my other bun to catch it.
We adopted a baby bunny pair 4 months ago, and one of them died recently. What can you suggest about the single bunny we have? We are around her all the time ...we want to support her emotionally too. Plus we have a pretty big house and a garden but there is a dog outside hence we don't play with her outside for longer duration ..is being inside most of the time okay for her?
I'm so sorry for your loss. Yes, you're doing a great job keeping your rabbit company. I'm that's been helping her mental health, and it's perfectly okay to keep rabbits inside
My rabbit make this sneeze but I don't notice it when he's alone, no discharge either and he's still energetic. But here's what I discovered everytime I handle him (he didn't like to be held since early days) he make these sneeze and I'm scared when this showed up after I search it. I hope anyone could reply 😥
My bunny had watery eyes a while ago, on and off and then it’s gone but she also had these strange sneezing episodes where she has white mucus come out. Does this sound like snuffles? And her nose is also damp
I would definitely get the opinion of a vet and keep an eye on your rabbit, especially if there was mucus. Watery eyes can also be a sign of tooth problems, blocked tear ducts, or some kind of eye irritation.

Hi
How do you clean your rabbits nose
Hi what antibiotics where you all prescribed atall
My rabbit keeps sneezing since a few days because her hay had pollen 😮 I actually picked it out and there was so much of it in the bag. I ordered a new bag of hay now and there is no visible pollen but she just sneezed again though she has no other symptoms of snuffles
Amy our rabbit doesn't seem to like to eat the pellets. What do we do
Hello, i would really appreciate any advice about my rabbit, who seems to have early snuffle like symptoms. I spoke to a vet from a veterinary hospital that specialises in small exotic animals to see whether i should come in and she said no, that during the first cold snaps of winter it is common for rabbits to have irritated mucous membranes and that i should keep the humidity in my home high and wait and see whether the symptoms progress. Can you, or anyone else in this comment section confirm this occurence to give me some peace of mind?
Additional information: my rabbit had extensive blood work done a little over a week ago that came back normal. An xray of her lungs done to rule out lung cancer also looked healthy. The tests were done because I noticed her breathing was shallow and fast but without flared nostrils.
Her breathing has since stayed the same. New symptoms are a whistling breathing noise when grooming or excited, wet nose with transparant discharge, slightly matted paw fur, a fit of sneezing a day that lasts about 5 seconds, shallow breathing and occasional strange wheezing sounds when scratching her ears. Her appetite and digestion are normal.
Also, I brought my rabbit inside a week and a half ago because of the cold and her arthritis. The weather really has been terrible, with snow, rain and strong winds. Usually she sleeps on a glassed off terrace and spends her days outside. Just in case this is information is useful.
The vet is hesitant to start a treatment because if it is a bacterial infection it is difficult to find out the strain to use the correct antibiotic. Also, antibiotics are apparently quite damaging to digestive health so using them when not needed is not recommended.
I would love to have a second opinion from somebody with experience :)
Did you ever figure out what’s going on with your bun? My bunny is doing practically the same thing right now
Her "symptoms" disappeared within a few days. They reappeared this winter and after installing a humidifier (and removing fir tree branches from her room) they went away the next day.

Please help My baby bunny 4 months old since few days have discharge on her eyes and she doesn’t clean it. How can I clean for her ?
Pls my rabbit have white eye what can I do
Have you by chance ever encountered scab like discharge on the face of your bunnies? Mine seem to be at the base of his whiskers and appear clear/ greenish in color. They feel like little scabs or dried discharge. I've tried removing them with my fingers but I haven't had luck getting them off. 😢
My bunny is 2 months old. He had one food and he was eating it a lot of it he has a lot of energy,he doesnt have runny nose or watery eyes,he drinks water like always,but just when he got this new other food he isnt eating a lot of it,he is very picky about it...It isnt that he doesnt eat at all,he is but not a lot like before with other food,is that normal?
And too,he had one stick with food and when he got that stick he started eating a little less and he eats his hay and everythong just that less eating...So should i be warned of something?
My bunnies sneeze when they're digging in the litter box, I'm assuming they're flicking up dust, they have no other symptoms just a random sneeze, usually a double then nothing for a good while
my rabbit has snuffles but my mom wont let me take her to the vet. Can anyone tell me what to do
My girl wheezes like something's wrong but not only did the vet not mention her sounding like there was a problem, she was also on antibiotics for an ear infection and the wheezing still persists. Do some bunnies just sound that way because of their size?
What hidey house is that in the background?
I just adopted a bunny she sneezes more than seems normal going to the vet tommorow but I noticed the food powder causes her to sneeze alot.
My hare Haas has some simptoms like thick mucus, a lot of sneezing and he always lifts one of his hind legs up... I can't catch him and take it to the vet and I can't do anything. Please help... Thank you!🐰🐰🐰
How about those who are rabbit owners in other countries but seems like there's no rabbit vet even just one in their country?
Hi, i love your videos i know this is off topic but i have a question, i have 2 20 week old baby rabbit and im not sure if i should start leafy greens yet i got them off a farm a few days ago so they didnt have that option for them because they were grass fed. if it is time to add the leafy greens into their diet is it okay if i just use ones i got from the store because i am not sure if they used pesticides but they are means for humans i am not sure. i am so sorry if i dont sound educated about bunnies at the moment its because i did all my research but i completely missed this part thank you for your time:).
helloo!! first of all congrats on becoming a bun parents! you can actually start introducing veggies to ur bun. start off with one vegetable at a time and give them in small amounts (ie give a tiny bit of the veggie everyday, slowly increasing in size). it’s hard to find vegetables that are completely pesticide free unless they’re organic, but just remember to rinse the vegetables before feeding them to your bun and it should be good :)) remember to google what kinds of vegetables can be fed to buns!
@@chrispychickenandegg thank you so much I’ve been holding it off waiting for this reply I appreciate it! :)
Hello I'm new to your channel, I have a rabbit I'm concerned about she sneezes and sounds like she coughs with mucus in airway. She has no discharge, no eye ozz. I've never had a mini Dutch (have had full sized doutch) she is my first and I hope it's not a mini thing. Any help would be appreciated
My rabbit just passed from snuffles and in our area they didn’t have vets that would take him it’s bull just had to watch him suffer.
Is it normal for your bunny to bite she bit me twice when i did not do anything 🥲 and she bit sister,brother :(
I have a standard Rex that is 6 months old and has had a sneeze/runny nose that lasts a few days and disappears. This is the 4th time. He is never lethargic. His brother in the same large cage has never shown any symptoms even though they are always playing, eating from the same bowl and drinking from the same water bottle. Could this be snuffles?
Will a bunny die if its back is broken his two back legs arent working
My bunny named Nio had the watery eyes but it healed
I noticed that my rabbit 3 years old started sneezing 1 month ago. I didn't see watery eyes or wetness on his nose. And 2 weeks ago I took it to the vet, but until now he still sneeze when eat hay and eat pellets.
Does anyone know why my rabbit is like that?
Can my rabbit recover?
If your bunny has a snuffles or a respiratory infection do I tell the vet to give my bunny antibiotics?
My rabbit escaped this morning. I was able to find him but his face is swollen now and he has watery eyes :( no sneezing though.
My 1st adopted bunny had this it died a year ago its because my cat carried my bunny ears
My bunny has rabbit snuffles, and has to have antibiotics. I'm a new owner, and have no idea how to give him his medicine, via a syringe. Any advice would be appreciated.
Did your bun ever recover? I just got a tiny 8week old Holland Lop that seems to have snuffles, I too struggle with how to give the medicine via syringe. I’m so worried because I don’t want my other bun to catch it.
What to do if a rabbit is facing difficultly in breathing
Snuffles
I wanna cry my rabbit is sick and I’m terrified…
My bunny whenever drinking water sneezing what does that mean
We adopted a baby bunny pair 4 months ago, and one of them died recently. What can you suggest about the single bunny we have? We are around her all the time ...we want to support her emotionally too. Plus we have a pretty big house and a garden but there is a dog outside hence we don't play with her outside for longer duration ..is being inside most of the time okay for her?
I'm so sorry for your loss. Yes, you're doing a great job keeping your rabbit company. I'm that's been helping her mental health, and it's perfectly okay to keep rabbits inside
Why the rabbits nose become longer
My bunny has snuffles but my mom doesn't want to go to the vet😥
Can I ask how your bunny is doing now? My rabbit has shuffles too, but I am unable to go to the vet. 😓I hope your bunny is doing alright now..
My rabbit make this sneeze but I don't notice it when he's alone, no discharge either and he's still energetic. But here's what I discovered everytime I handle him (he didn't like to be held since early days) he make these sneeze and I'm scared when this showed up after I search it. I hope anyone could reply 😥
It’s best you take them to the vet just to make sure everything is okay
Hi sister, will this lead to pasteurellosis?
Pasteurellosis is another name for snuffles. I believe the term 'snuffles' is used more in the US, while 'pasteurellosis' is used more in the UK
My bunny had watery eyes a while ago, on and off and then it’s gone but she also had these strange sneezing episodes where she has white mucus come out. Does this sound like snuffles? And her nose is also damp
You should call your vet. Is she eating like normal?
@@ilovemagic4291 completely fine and eating normal acting the same
I would definitely get the opinion of a vet and keep an eye on your rabbit, especially if there was mucus. Watery eyes can also be a sign of tooth problems, blocked tear ducts, or some kind of eye irritation.
Just give 1ml paediatric cold syrup .
Omg my rabbits just got snuffles
when you were doing high five with ellie she didn’t even do it she touched you on the knee

I hate this video. How you grab the rabbits by its ears. And the cage, the wire floor is painful to their paws. Please improve.
