My mini lop buck is 5 months old and has been having multiple sneezes in a row and I have noticed a white discharge from his nose. He is eating and drinking as normal - but he must be distressed from constantly sneezing? What's the problem? Many thanks in advance x

You need to take your bunny to a vet that specializes in exotics and knows what kind of antibiotics a bunny can have because I think your bunny may have the "snuffles". It can be very serious, so don't wait, take him on Monday. You can go the the houserabbit society website to research antibiotics yourself, because I had a vet prescribe the wrong one for one of my rabbits one time and it killed her. I now go to a rabbit that specializes in exotics and she knows what the rabbit can have, what our birds can have, what our bearded dragon can have, and how to take care of our many breeds of dogs.
The other possibility is it could be allergies, but I don't think so with the discharge you discribe. You don't have scented kitty litter in her box do you? If you have a litter box in the bunny box, you should use the unscented "yesterday's news" which is made of newspapers and has no chemicals added. I put newspaper in the bottom then yesterday's news then cover with fresh alfalfa hay.

If there's discharge he has a cold or sinus or respiratory infection. Get him to a vet before it develops in to pneumonia or something! If left untreated, it will become life-threatening.
