My bunny has mucus, sneezing, and breathing issues. Is it snuffles?

I have a male lop bunny, and lately he’s not been acting himself. He’s not as playful as before and he has had a little bit of mucus around his nose area. Frequent sneezing and irregular breathing. I think he might have snuffles, what should I do?

He'll have to be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits to definitively diagnose snuffles. Antique will likely be dispensed. If you have other rabbits, keep him away from them. Make sure he continues to eat and drink.
