Sneezing rabbit

[Hey There Delilah]

Over the last few days, I have noticed that my rabbit has started sneezing on a regular basis when she never used to. I cleaned her pen thoroughly but she is still sneezing and there isn’t anything new in the house that I can think would cause this. She will sneeze a few times a day and rub her nose too. I have not noticed any discharge from her eyes, nose, or mouth. Her paws also appear dry. She is eating, pooping, and acting normally. I have also noticed that around the same time the sneezing started, she is making more noises. She will honk when she eats, grooms, or is being pet when she never used to. She only makes these sounds when she is doing things she likes, not constantly, so I assumed it was a normal rabbit sound she had stared being more vocal about. However, I am wondering if the sounds are related to her sneezing/nose? Should I bring her to the vet even though she is acting normally besides the sneezing?

Hmmm, I would probably take her to the vet since it’s been a few days of this. If it was just an isolated fit of sneezing then I would suspect dust from hay, but since it’s been going on for a bit it could be a respiratory issue or even something stuck in her sinuses.
