Hello all! This is my first post here so I apologize if I’m doing this wrong. I have a pretty old bun named Henry (he’s over 13!) who has had some type of chronic illness for the last 3-ish years of his life. I’ve taken him to a handful of different vets who have suggested different treatment options and have I tried basically all of them over the years. They all seem to agree it is some type of upper respiratory infection but culturing has turned up negative and Henry eats, drinks, poops, and plays pretty normally. I’ve tried long term antibiotics, nebulized him for a while, steam treatments, etc but he still gets hardcore sneezing fits and is very wheezy all of the time.

At this point, especially now that his age is starting to show in his overall energy levels I am beginning to feel very guilty that I haven’t been able to help my bunny over these last years. Whenever he sneezes it jerks his body around and is really hard for me to watch. Have any of you dealt with a pet who has had a chronic illness? I am just looking for some advice with how you’ve dealt with it, I know everyone feels like their pets are part of their families and I am just really struggling at the moment.
