Can rabbits have allergies?

[WorthItFarms]

I have a young buckling (5mon) that has started sneezing. I immediately started checking him for a runny nose or wet paws or snot, etc. Nothing, absolutely nothing. He's eating, drinking, playing, and acting normal. Just occasionally gets these sneezing fits. Of course, I that's been happening to me too. Our rabbit barn is coated in a thin layer of yellow pollen. I mean it is EVERYWHERE! The air looks dusty or foggy, but it's just the pollen. GA's pollen records has been broken this year, it's the worst ever.

Luckily, this little guy is in a lone cage and only near ducklings (easier to clean up on wire). He's new so he's been in quarantine since he arrived. I don't plan on moving him, no need really. But, should I start antibiotics? I really don't like to use them. I don't like using any meds actually. But I hate to loose him or let him suffer.

Could it be allergies and nothing to worry about? Or is it snuffles?

Yes rabbits can get allergies. Unless you see white discharge, I wouldn't worry.

OKay, well yesterday he sneezed out some white/clear snot. Is it getting more serious? He's been like this for at least a week if not two. ( We are all sick too now from the crazy weather)

Clear snot is usually from allergies. Cream or yellow is usually snuffles. It sounds as tho You are in a really bad pollen situation...maybe give him something for allergies ???
