Do rabbits get colds/flu?

[memesbunnies]

For the past two days I noticed that Just Bunny seems to have a stuffed up nose? He sometimes makes grunty/stuffed up noises when he breathes and his ears are warm (but I keep a very warm house). he eats drinks, gets into trouble fine and all is normal at the potty end of things so was just wondering if he caught the sniffles from his cold trip to the vet two weeks ago or from the draft coming from the door (his cage needs to be moved away from the outside door, he gets a blast of cold air everytime it opens).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Rabbits get bacterial infections which should be treated with antibiotics . I suggest that you take your rabbit to a rabbit knowledgeable vet. Even though he is behaving fine right now as the infection worsens his symptoms will also.

Max had a crusty nose but was otherwise fine (no sneezing) for a while until we changed his litter.

is his cage dirty? is there something he could be allergic to?

Yes they can my rabbit Bennie is currently suffering from upper respiratory infection but hopefully I will take him to the vet tonight or tommorrow.
