"Cuddlymummy" is right - your bunny needs a visit to the vet. "Snuffles" is the common name for an infection called pasteurella, which can be very lethal to rabbits, and is not a nice disease for them to have. One of my dearest rabbits died of this disease a few years ago - he went from fine to dead within 6 days. It may be a harmless cold that your rabbit has, but since the symptoms of pasteurella are so similar, it's not worth the risk in my opinion. If it does happen to be that awful disease, any delay in treatment drastically reduces your rabbit's chance of recovery.
Please take him asap.

You should always take an animal to the vet if you think it's ill.
Rabbits, cats and dogs don't get 'colds' like we do - that is, minor respiratory infections that clear up on their own. If your rabbit is sneezing it's likely he has a respiratory infection, or it could even be myxomatosis if he isn't vaccinated.
It's unlikely to get better on its own or with anything you can do at home. Take to a vet.

nicely, in case you hadn't taken her in she'd have died in July - so, you have saved her life. Why not carry on for somewhat longer, on an identical time as you attempt to get her a good residing house? i've got confidence she scratches all night through fact she's going loopy with power - and being a girl she'll be very territorial and somewhat competitive (as your cat has already found out). could desire to you attempt shutting her in a room for some hours an afternoon, so she gets a number of her power labored off? Rabbits who are not spayed have a tendency to have somewhat good smelling urine - and her lavatory nook must be wiped clean on a regular basis. Ask your close by vet in the event that they understand all and sundry who needs a rabbit. That way you will get a in charge proprietor, who visits the vet. As a final motel you are able to desire to promote after which you would be able to verify over the folk who call. in my view, i might take her to a rabbit shield - they are going to look after her suitable and make effective she is going to a loving residing house. I ought to declare i won't be able to think of her life as a 'breeder' rabbit being a lot relaxing, purely arduous and short. good luck - and undergo in strategies, you saved her life, so don't sense in charge approximately looking her a clean residing house. look on it as a getting to understand curve - you fostered her, nurtured her, yet have got here upon which you at the instant are not a rabbit individual.

take it to the vet asap! my rabbit had "snuffles" and was very ill, he wouldn't eat or drink and had a lot of difficulty breathing. He did recover after a lot of TLC and antibiotics but a year later he got it again and didn't get better. He was practically suffocating on his own phlegm and had to be put down. THE SOONER YOU GET HIM TO THE VET, THE BETTER THE OUTCOME WILL BE!
GOOD LUCK

Obvious answer is GO TO YOUR VET!! If your rabbit is suffering and you're aware of that fact then you're guilty of animal cruelty if you don't take it for treatment. It may have a serious virus.
