Sascha making weird noises.

[Rhee]

I’m sorry if I’m in the wrong forum >.<

Sascha is otherwise acting normally; interested, eating, drinking, pooing, peeing, all that good bunny stuff. However, he is sneezing/snorting a bit, and every few minutes making a “blark” kind of noise (almost like the sound that chest mucus makes when humans gag, I guess). At first I thought he had caught something in his mouth, and it looked like he was drooling, but it doesn’t appear that way now at all, it just looks more like his mouth is wet from him getting a drink – it isn’t the consistency of drool and there isn’t any more of it. I don’t know if he’s been doing this all day, or if it’s a new development.

Is this something urgent, or even a concern at all? It’s different, that’s for sure. He is a dwarf lop (I figure), short-haired, unaltered, about two years old, and there have been no recent changes in his diet or anything else.

I cannot contact my vet until the morning. I will then to ask questions. I know of no urgent-care places around here that handle anybody other than cats and dogs, so I’m out of luck as far as that goes.

Wonder if he’s having some dental problems. Might have the vet check his teeth. Lops are susceptible to dental disease.

I’m hoping that you reached your vet today and got him an appointment. I think expert in person care is the best for what you just described.
Hope he’s better soon.

I apologize for never replying to update! Sascha was taken to the vet, and had his teeth filed down a bit. There were no concerns which my vet had at all, and he has been fine since.
Thank you very much for your replies and suggestions.
