To care for a sneezing rabbit, start by noting any other symptoms it may have, like runny eyes or a runny nose, which can be signs of a respiratory infection or a dental problem. then, take your rabbit to a vet, who can use your observations and a physical exam to diagnose your rabbit.. It's normal for rabbits to sneeze sometimes bc of their respiratory system. do a thorough cleaning of the cage, blankets, food dishes. vacuum. and make sure to groom every few days, especially if he is shedding a lot. i have a mini rex so he sheds pretty bad a few times a year and will sneeze more the longer i go between brushes and cleaning.. All rabbits shed twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall. the process is unavoidable, as the rabbit sheds his heavy winter coat to prepare for warmer weather, and again, sheds his thinner summer coat in preparation for cold weather..
I got my rabbits for about 2 months now and i noticed that she sneezes while eating and drinking and while cleaning herself. is this normal?. Be careful with short haired rabbits as a prickly brush could be painful to them. it is crucial that you are consistent with grooming when your rabbit is shedding. rabbit�s are diligent cleaners who lack the ability to throw up so when a hairball gets stuck in their stomach it can cause a blockage and turn in to stasis rather quickly.. Just like cats, rabbits can get hairballs. if severe, the rabbit can die because unlike cats, they cannot vomit the balls up. since most rabbits molt (shed their coat) up to six times a year (depending on the breed) you are likely to have some of their hair flying around. you need to remove this from their living area..
