My rabbit is sneezing with white discharge. Allergies or infection?

Question

My pet rabbit Zeus started sneezing last night and i noticed a white discharge. I did put new hay in his cage that day. Today he played outside, he eats normally and he does not look ill overall. As soon as i brought him back inside he started sneezing again. I removed the hay and washed his blanket. Can this be due to an allergic reaction or is it due to a bacterial infection?

This is most likely due to an upper respiratory infection. If it were only allergies there would not be discharge like you are describing. I would recommend taking Zeus to the vet as soon as possible so treatment can be started for his infection. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
