        Should I be worried. She’ll sneeze and a little clear snot comes out. I’m in PA, and it’s pretty cold here. Although I wouldn’t think that would matter as all the buns are always inside.

          If she has a runny nose, you may want to call a vet for her. Healthy bunnies usually don’t get runny noses

            sometimes max gets sniffly, but i definitely think a vet should look at her.

              Ditto. Clear discharge is better than opaque/yellow or green, but still better to look into things early on. Are you using any new litter, hay, or products around the home? Sometimes sneezing and running noses can indicate teeth issues too.

                It is possible she has an upper respiratory infection – probably should get her examined by the vet just to be safe.

                  She’s actually had this at least since we brought her and Ben home back in May. Her nose is very random. What I mean is I’ll be holding her against my chest, with her head up by mine, and her breathing is normal (other than being fast as she prefers not to be held). But then later you can hear her nose and she’ll sneeze and snot will come out. Then after that she’s fine.

                  And like I said it’s really random. I’ve probably only seen the runny nose maybe 5 times now since we’ve had her. And by 5 times I don’t mean her having it a day or two and then clearing up. I mean 5 sneezes.

                  I know all animals sneeze, I guess it’s just with her it worries me more as her sneezes also involve snot. I’ll give our vet a ring tomorrow. Her and Ben are about due to go in for a checkup anyhow so hopefully she can get us in quick.

                  If buns have teeth problems, would that affect their eating, or how fast they eat?

                    Sometimes teeth problems can affect eating, but sometimes they cause things like a runny nose or watery eyes, and you can’t tell from their eating habits that it is their teeth causing the problem.

                    I have a bunny that seems to have allergies, so he will sneeze if there is a strong scent in the air like perfume or air fresheners. I think it is a good idea to call your vet because sometimes a runny nose can be a sign of a much more serious underlying issue, and it is always good to catch any sickness or health problem early.
