My rabbits are sneezing and struggling to breathe. Is it urgent?

Question

Hi! I have two rabbits. They're both sneezing. I can hear a bit of blocked breathing from them. One started first and the other one started recently. I can't bring them to the vet until two days later. I would like to ask if this should be treated as an emergency case and what can I do in the meantime to treat them.

This does not sound like an emergency but it requires veterinary care. Sneezing could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
