Bunny has crusty bumps, runny nose, sneezing. Is a vet visit urgent?

It sounds like she has a respiratory infection so I suggest you take her to your vet for an exam. I don't think it's an emergency like you have to take her now but I would try to get her in tomorrow. If this is a respiratory infection she is going to need antibiotics and you can only get those from your vet. The other option is asthma/allergy but again, you would need to get medications to treat this from your vet. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I am sorry to hear about your bunny! There are many possible causes for sneezing in rabbits. We can see infections with bacteria cause sneezing in bunnies. Since only one bunny is affected the infectious cause is less likely. Irritation to the nasal passages due to things like odors/ammonia from urine in the cage or cedar shavings can occur. Foreign objects being inhaled (such as pieces of hay or shavings) can cause sneezing fits. Dental problems can also cause sneezing. Since some of these problems due require medical treatment I would recommend an examination by a vet who sees rabbits. In the meantime you can try putting a humidifier in your bunny's room if you have one and you may also bring your bunny into the bathroom while you run a steamy shower for a steam treatment for 10-15 minutes to moisten the respiratory passages.

Hello! I'm sorry your bun has a nose problem! If it doesn't go away on its own within a few days, or if it starts to spread, I would take your bun in to your veterinarian who may want to do a skin scraping or collect hairs from the area to make sure your bun doesn't have a mite or fungal infection. Some kinds of infections can be spread to people too, so especially if it is getting worse I would make sure to get a diagnosis so you can start treatment.

Thanks for reaching out about Bolt and including a photo. Nasal crusts can be caused by bacterial infections or other conditions. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. good luck.

Hello, and thank you for your question. It looks like Pluffy has some sort of skin infection. One possibility is rabbit syphilis (treponema), which is a type of bacterial infection. Another possibility is a systemic infection (sepsis). I would highly recommend taking Pluffy to the vet within the next 24 hours. They can administer antibiotics and pain medication to heal the infection. In the meantime, encourage her to eat a more balanced diet which includes plenty of timothy hay, and limited pellets (no more than 1/4 cup a day). Keep her environment clean. I hope this helps, and that Pluffy is feeling better soon.

HI, at home you can clean his nose gently with cotton wool and lukewarm water and encourage Buster to eat with food or syringe feeding, but I recommend to see your vet for more specific treatment for this condition. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach !

Poor Snowy! These symptoms are very concerning as they can be caused by several dangerous viral infections. I recommend separating him from any other rabbits he lives with to prevent transmitting the disease. He should be seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine what is going on as this may also be caused by a bacterial infection or fur mites. Your vet will be able to perform a physical exam and provide supportive care if needed.
