Rabbit snuffle is caused by bacteria that live in the nose, throat, and lungs of rabbits. These bacteria can cause the nose to become inflamed and swollen, which makes breathing difficult for your rabbit. You may also see mucus dripping from their nostrils or watery eyes if they have severe symptoms.
Rabbit snuffles is a common condition that affects rabbits. It is a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics, but there are also natural remedies you can use at home to help your rabbit feel better. The most important thing is to keep your rabbit calm, as stress can make their symptoms worse.
Rabbit snuffles is a condition that affects rabbits and it can be contagious. It’s caused by a virus, and it can spread rapidly among rabbits. The symptoms of rabbit snuffles are runny eyes, nose, and mouth; high temperature; lethargy; sleepiness; and loss of appetite. If you see any of these symptoms in your pet rabbit, it may suffer from this condition. Fortunately, there are several natural remedies for rabbit snuffles that can help ease the symptoms of this disease and get rid of them completely within a few days or weeks.
What Is Rabbit Snuffle?
Rabbit snuffles are a respiratory infection that causes sneezing, coughing, and eye infections. It’s caused by bacteria called Pasteurella neurotropic. The bacteria can cause abscesses in the lungs or other organs (especially the liver).
If your rabbit gets an infection from these germs, they can spread to their eyes. This will make them itchy and bloody and it could lead to blindness if not treated right away.
Causes Of Rabbit Snuffle
- Bacterial infection
- Fungal infection
- Viral infection
- Stress. Rabbits are prone to stress-induced snuffles. Inhalation of foreign particles, allergens, toxic fumes, and irritants can also cause rabbit snuffles. A rabbit with a fungal infection will have an increased tendency to sneeze when stressed by other factors such as loud noises or drafts caused by air conditioners or fans. In the same way, inhalation of mold spores may trigger this reaction even in healthy rabbits if they are already under undue stress due to other causes such as confinement in small cages without proper ventilation; changes in diet; changing seasons etcetera.
Symptoms Of Rabbit Snuffle
Symptoms of rabbit snuffle include a runny nose, sniffling, and sneezing. Rabbits can also cough and experience eye discharge, redness, and swelling. These symptoms are usually accompanied by eye crusting, pain, or irritation. In severe cases, rabbits may develop ulcers around their eyes that require veterinary attention within 24 hours of diagnosis to prevent permanent damage to the cornea.
The most common cause of rabbit snuffle is infection from bacteria; however, it’s important to note that some viruses can also cause this condition as well as allergic reactions from irritants such as pollen or dust mites.
Effects Of Natural Remedies For Rabbit Snuffles
Natural remedies for rabbit snuffles are effective, safe, and have no side effects. Natural remedies for rabbit snuffles can be used over the long term, even when other medicines are being given at the same time. You can also use natural remedies with other medicines if you feel it’s necessary.
Examples Of Natural Remedies For Rabbit Snuffles
-Apple cider vinegar. This is one of the most popular remedies for rabbit snuffles, and it’s easy to see why: ACV has a lot of benefits. It can help balance pH levels in your rabbit’s body and keep him or her healthy.
-Garlic. Just like apples, garlic keeps away pests. Your bunny will love the taste of it too plus it has antibacterial properties that may help reduce swelling in his nose area.
-Probiotics are good bacteria that live in your pet’s gut and help with digestion. If you want to boost his immune system, even more, try giving him probiotic supplements daily (but be sure not to give them orally).
-Oregano oil is often used as an antibiotic because it contains terpenes that kill off harmful germs by causing cell damage within bacterial cells; many owners use this type of oil topically on their pets with great success.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a natural remedy for many health problems, including rabbit snuffles. It helps to balance the pH of the body and get rid of harmful bacteria, which can cause infections like rabbit snuffles. Apple cider vinegar also boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation, and reduces symptoms of rabbit snuffles.
This remedy is easy to make at home. All you need is some apple cider vinegar (the kind sold in stores has been pasteurized) and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix equal amounts together in a small glass jar or jar with a lid until it’s well combined then store it in your fridge for up to two weeks. Take one teaspoon every day before or after meals until your symptoms go away; then you can discontinue use unless they return again later on down the road (in which case repeat this process).
Garlic
Garlic is a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant. It also has antihistamine properties, as well as antifungal and antiviral. In other words: garlic is awesome for your rabbit’s health in every way you can think of.
To feed your rabbit garlic, you can use it raw or cooked. Raw garlic has more active compounds than cooked garlic does, but if you don’t want to give your bunny bits of raw cloves (which can be dangerous if they swallow them whole), then cooked will do just fine too. Either way just make sure that the pieces are small enough for them not to choke on them.
Probiotics
Probiotics are a type of good bacteria, and they’re essential for digestive health. Probiotics can help with immune function, too. Rabbits with snuffles often have compromised immune systems, so probiotic supplementation is recommended by many experts as part of a rabbit’s treatment program.
Probiotic supplements should be available at your local pet store or online. If you can’t find one in your area, check out Amazon or Etsy for homemade options.
Probiotics come in powder form and need to be mixed with water before giving them to your rabbit so make sure you have a small bowl handy.
Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is a natural antiseptic and antibiotic. It can be used to treat rabbit snuffles because it kills the bacteria that causes this condition.
Oregano oil is safe for use on rabbits, but you should always dilute it before applying it to your pet’s skin or inside his nostrils.
Directly apply oregano oil to the tip of your rabbit’s nose if he is suffering from a cold or respiratory infection such as rabbit snuffles. You can also soak his nostrils with the diluted oregano solution using cotton balls until they become soft and moist again (it may take several days).

Use these natural remedies to treat rabbit snuffles.
To treat your rabbit’s snuffles, you will want to use the following natural remedies:
- Apple cider vinegar. This is an important part of any natural remedy for rabbit snuffles. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar is a powerful antibacterial agent, so it will help kill off the bad bacteria that are causing your rabbit’s symptoms. You can also use raw honey with ACV as a topical treatment if your rabbit has a sore throat or other mucous membranes affected by the infection.
- Garlic and probiotics. Garlic contains allicin, which has been shown to be effective against bacterial infections in humans and animals alike.[2] Adding probiotics like yogurt or kefir (fermented milk) into your pet’s diet will also help keep their gut healthy by keeping good bacteria levels up while killing off harmful bacteria that may be causing their symptoms
- Oregano oil and lavender essential oil (not pictured). Both of these oils have antibacterial properties that can help fight off infections caused by Pasteurella multocida. They may work even better when combined with garlic or oregano capsules.
Final words
Rabbits are an excellent addition to any home. They are playful, affectionate, and intelligent. However, it is important that you understand the risks of keeping a rabbit as a pet. Rabbits can transmit diseases such as tularemia or myxomatosis through their urine or droppings which can affect humans who come into contact with them.
