Try and wipe it with a compress with lukewarm water. Do the best you can, gently pat dry the nose and observe to see if the stickiness goes away over these next few days. Obviously if you see snot or crustiness around the nostrils or observe frequent sneezing etc, it’s time to see a vet. A bunny cold is highly treatable with antibiotics.

Just use warm water to clean? I’m not sure… it looks like the hair are glued together, I feel it is very hard to clean no matter what it is. And I’ve never seen him sneezing. Some people also mentioned pasturella but I don’t understand how he can get this. They are just stay at home and no other animals in my house.

Hmm… interesting that it is on top of the nose. You would expect it to be under the nose… and then maybe some on top of the nose simply from wiping.

Could he have sniffed something sticky? Perhaps you could clean it off and then wait to see if it reappears.

I saw that, but I wasn’t sure if it was a wrinkle in the skin or a bump under the skin (like an abscess). There also appear to be some drooping of the eye, so then I thought maybe facial paralysis could be at play. I’m hoping the OP clarifies what we’re supposed to be looking at.

It looks like dry skin that stuck to a fur clump that was falling out. Is he shedding at all? Some bunnies will get dry skin when they molt heavily.

“Low grade” URIs can persist for a very long time. I would not assume that he doesn’t have one, even when his symptoms have not progressed very much.

Oh wow that is lucky Bam! I have to search hard every time I need new farm hay to find something good that isn’t too far!

Thanks so much. We have currently set up the cages about 2 feet from each other just so they can get used to each other being in the same place. Rabbit (that’s the name of our older rabbit) won’t stop staring at Blueberry (that’s the name of our new rabbit) but I think they will learn to live with each other. Rabbit has started biting her cage…[Read more]

Lovely news! Fresh hay is great! I’m lucky enought to know a farmer who grows his own hay for his own horses and he kindly lets my bun have as much hay as he can possibly eat 😃 Rabbits can be so fickle when it comes to hay!

@Susanne thank you!! Your Ruby is so adorably precious! LOVE the pic of her binkying! So cute 💜💜💜

Thank you pinkiemarie!! 💜

So cute, I love the one with the little black one between the bigger buns!

Yay! Keep working on it and hopefully you’ll get him up to where he should be, but in the meantime I’m glad to hear that he’s eating more of it!

Aww Masha and Fable are such pretty bunnies!  And love the snoozing Binky.  Hopefully the mashed potato bonding is going well, they make a cute couple 🙂

Here are some of my first pictures of Ruby, including the drive home, to celebrate getting her a year ago this month.
