[Petbunny] Tracey/ wet nose

[Strachan, S.C.]

Thanks Tracey!
Nah there's no sneezing and the litter box is normal, I check her eyes
every day and they seem bright and mischevous as usual!  That's a good
point about ringing the vet - Mr Bentley is a lovely man who seems to
know lots about bunnies, and he's always dealt with Holly so he's
familiar with her, and her characteristics.  She seems absolutely fine,
but these bunnies are masters of disguise!  I reckon its always best
just to check.

I didn't realise little Robyn had pneumonia last year - I'm so glad he's
ok.  That must have been a worry! *shudder*

Snuggles to Robbie!

Is it all the time, Claire? 

Sometimes Robyn's nose gets wet when he's in the middle of grooming or
when he's been playing
hard. 

With Robyn I've learned to not worry so long as there's no discharge,
and he's not sneezing. 
I check his eyes to be sure they are clear and bright. And I listen to
his breathing to be sure that
is clear. Robyn had pneumonia last year, and so I'm REALLY protective!!

Is everything else okay in the litter box? 

My vet reminds me that just like people are prone to certain
characteristics, that rabbits are too.
Maybe Holly is going to be prone to a wet nose! 

Do you have a rabbit savvy vet that you could call and ask? I used to
ask A LOT of questions with my first rabbit!

Let's see what other PBer's say about this.  Meanwhile, kissies for
Holly!

Hiya,
I may be being a completely over protective bunny mummy but I've
 noticed that Holly's nose is a little wetter than usual.  There doesn't
 appear to be any discharge and she's her usual normal jumpy hoppy litle
self
 but whenever we snuggle she smears it all over me, and it just seems
 'wetter'.  Does that make sense?
 
Should I be worried or is this normal?  I'm still a novice at this!!!!
