Rabbit with eye discharge for a few days and a dry sniffle of a sneeze: what does it mean?
What they asked
Hello my rabbit has had eye discharge for the past few days like boogers in his eyes and I was wondering what that meant. Also today he recently did like a sneeze, but it wasn’t like a wet sneeze. It was more like a sniffle type of sneeze after he sniffed his hay hideout thing.
Sorry to hear about your rabbit. Is the discharge clear or cloudy? Can you take a closer picture of the eye? A lot of indoor rabbits can do with an air purifier due to all the hay dust that gets into the air in an enclosed room.
