Hi, just wondering if anyone would let me know if I need to get Marley to the vets? I had a long day yesterday and today and didn't spend a lot of time with Marley yesterday. I have him downstairs now with me and he is lively and bouncing about like his usual wee self. However, he keeps making a noise that sounds like a sneeze or some type of cough. I have heard of snuffles but not sure if this is what he has or even really what it is?
Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.
Jacqui

If it continues I would get him checked over as it could be something stuck in his nose, or he might have dental issues. Is his nose dry and can you see any dried mucus on his front paws?

Thanks Bernie, if it continues? Do you mean it could be an urgent trip to the vet? Could I hold off until Monday or should I take him sooner? He's vet bills are covered so I won't be out of money.
He doesn't have dental problems as he just had an operation and was checked at the rescue too - so his wee teeth are grand.
Thanks x

p.s his wee nose is wet and I don't see mucus either.

Don't worry he will be able to hold out until Monday When I say teeth problems it could be a tooth root that is causing the problem, the only way you can rule that out is with head x-rays.

Another question, if I may?
The longer that Marely has been here the more confident (And cheeky) he seems to be getting. He seemed to be very cross a few nights ago as my cat was laying beside me on the sofa. I Had not heard him thump until that night and he thumped at least 15 times within an hour and half. He nips me a lot when I am in his way etc. I know that is bunny behaviour but the cheeky boy kept jumping up on the sofa that my cat and I were on tonight. My cat will put up with so much and then swipe and run away. So I have to be careful, but Marley just jumped on the sofa with the cat and me and then he sat on his back legs and looked like he was trying to box my cat I have no idea what that was and wonder if this is a typical rabbit behaviour?

Yes, Marley was neutered almost 2 weeks ago. He's very bold
