  My 1 yr old male bunny is breathing strangely.
  I thought it may be snuffles but there is No runny nose or eyes.
  He is eating, preferring soft food but not pooping.
  Have him in bathroom with humidifier and giving him colloidal silver and Echinacea.
  Cant pinpoint his trouble.
  Any suggestions?

  Could he be having dental issues? Sometimes dental issues can be hidden even though their teeth look perfectly fine from the outside. If he prefers soft foods then it may be possible as it may be uncomfortable to munch on hay and such. Not pooping could also lead to GI stasis, which is potentially fatal to a bunny. Him not pooping could be due to not eating enough hay – hay helps in digestion so if he’s not eating enough of it because it’s uncomfortable, he could get stasis. How long has it been?
  
  It’s probably best to bring him to a bunny savvy vet asap.

  Or something obstructing his nose perhaps? It can make it difficult for them to eat when the breathing is impeded.
