Hi everyone!
I have a 3 month old Holland Lop named Maverick (first time bunny owner) and am hoping someone can provide me with some advice.
The other morning I noticed he was making sounds while sleeping in a flopped position on the floor. I immediately freaked out thinking he had a RI but after reading that Holland Lops are prone to snoring I calmed down. The videos I watched of snoring bunnies sound exactly like what he was doing and he is really only doing this while lying down.
I’ve been keeping a super close eye on him ever since and noticed he’s also sneezing and sometimes when he does it sounds almost like snot is in his nose. I’ve been checking for wet nose/discharge but there is none. He does not sneeze back to back just maybe once every couple of hours or so. Is this normal? Could it be from his drinking water getting in his nose?
I ordered a HEPA air filter for downstairs where he free roams in case it’s allergies but I am an anxious mess right now watching every single thing he does and convincing myself he’s sick.
He is eating and pooping like normal and has done zoomies with binkies everyday. I’m having a hard time finding information regarding the differences between snuffles/RI and a flat face bunny who might just get something in his nose a few times a day.
He has a vet checkup on August 12th. Should I wait until then and ask the vet about this as long as he continues to act normally? Or are these signs of something more serious that requires attention now?
