My bunny has a runny nosie!

[BellTowerAngoras]

I bought a bunny at a rabbit show, and he just has a runny nose, nothing else is wrong with him, what could it be?



Just a cold maybe?

It could be stress related but also could be the beginning of a respiratory infection. Is the discharge clear or thick and yellow.
It is alway good to have an initial check-up when you first get a rabbit.

I see that you breed french angoras so i would also suggest isolating your new bun from the othe buns in your rabbitry until you are sure he /she is fine.

How old is your rabbit ?

Do you have a rabbit knowledgeable vet?

here are some vets in Ontario recommeneded by forum members

It just looks a little wet around his nose, there is no yellow or thickness lol

He is 4 months old & he is male

He is extremely active and he is already giving kisses and we JUST bought him home today He was at the rabbit show today, could that be why he is stressed

If it doesn't go away after a few days, it could be one of a number of things, that require a vet to diagnose. It could be anything from an upper respiratory infection (very contagious) to tooth problems. I'd separate him from the rest of your bunnies for a few days and monitor it. If it gets worse or persists for more than 3 days, I'd take him in to the vet.
