sneezes, shakes its head and tries to rub its 
nostrils with the forepaws. There is a dis- 
charge from the nostrils which, at first, is white 
but later changes to yellow. This discharge 
is a thick substance and is very annoying 
to the animal. 
There has been a great deal of discussion 
as to whether snuffles is incurable. Many 
experts claim that the only remedy after the 
rabbit has passed from the cold to the snuffles 
stage is the ax. There are dozens of snufiles 
remedies on the market. We have tried 
many of them, but with indifferent success. 
Discoveries have lately been made which 
prove that snufiles is a germ disease, a disease 
that fastens itself in the blood of the animal. 
It is not merely a nose disorder, so those 
remedies which look to a clearance of the 
nostrils are really working in the wrong 
direction. The proper way to cure such a 
disorder is to clear the system, drive out the 
germ from the blood, and it stands to reason 
that the nose discharge will cease when that 
is done.
