Bunny Sneezing? Anything serious?

[sparney]

it might not be anything serious but i took Barney for a walk in the garden and instead he just sat on the grass eating. He had been fine all day.

I suffer from hayfever and that night i was quite bad, so do rabbits get hayfever because Barney sneezed?

He does sometimes sneeze, but it is very rare.

also we normally sit on the grass and let him eat so thats nothing new.

my freind's bunny was sneezing a lot and the vet told him to get a vitamine C to put into the water fro 10 days every month and also gave him some kinda medicine for a few days.
after that his bun was doing great and stoped sneezing...
i dunno what's the caes and if its the same thing.
maybe you should ask a vets opinion as well....

He might have gotten something in his nose. Bunnies don't really get allergies, and if it was just the one time, I wouldn't worry.

Mine will sneeze occasionally. Sometimes he has sneezing fits(at first hearing them, they are a bit scary). In my expericence this is due to something like hair or hay in his nose, he's never had a uri or any symptoms of one.

Just watch for any discharge. Colored discharge is sign of infection and needs to be seen by a vet and treated. Other than that, I think he should be ok.
