Hello again everyone, once again I am writing for advice on the health of my two bunnies!
I am concerned because there seems to be some dried brownish stuff on the tips of their noses and in their nostrils. It looks like it might be small little bits of the hay they eat, but I am not sure. I am worried about them perhaps having snuffles? I don\'t know much about this but I read a little about it.
Another thing that made me suspect snuffles is that today while they were eating while I was cleaning out their cage, one of the bunnies did something really weird, I think he may have been coughing.
Other than the dried stuff on their nose and in their nostrils, they are eating healthy and drinking well. Their eyes look fine.
Are there any more signs I should look for if it is snuffles? Also, I already made an appointment to take them in for a regular vet appointment (with a bunny-savvy vet) on february 12 (today is january 31), so I am wondering if I should take them in before that to check on this or should it be okay if I wait until their vet appointment?
Thanks in advance, I am a new bunny owner and I love these two very much, so I am a little bit of a hypocondriac (sp?) when it comes to them =)
