I have just been reading up on Snuffles and I am concerned... We thought our rabbit was just sneezing randomly(our dogs and cats do sometimes too) and her face has been pretty clear, she keeps herself very clean, her paws are not matted at all, but now her sneezes(starting a few days ago) have seemed to have gotten a whole lot worse... It seems to be more in her lungs vs nose... It is getting pretty bad and loud. (almost sounds like reverse sneezing in dogs)
I am scared it is Snuffles but don't know how to treat it... We are not in a position to take her to a vet right now, and since she did have contact with my other rabbits, I am assuming I need to pre treat them...
I read one site that said she can be treated with Terramycin Powder but it didn't say how much... But if there is a better way I can treat her/them without taking them to a vet, that would be great...
Can anyone help?<br /><br />__________ Tue Apr 26, 2011 10:01 am __________<br /><br />Oh, and they are house rabbits, I clean their cages completely every 3-4 days, they get a bowl of fresh timothy hay that is kept full all the time(shaken out outside to minimize dust), We have had her a while and feed her a good food...
The person I bought her from said she was never sick before, but they traveled a long way, she was stuck in a crate with another rabbit... since then, she has been periodically sneezing... but she wasn't very well taken care of prior and we just assumed with better care that she would get better... but it just hasn't and it has just recently gotten worse... but I am kind of scared... I want her to be okay... and my other rabbits too
