Yes. Rabbits can be allergic to any number of things from their food, to dust to their bedding. The symptoms range from runny nose, discharge around the eyes, red eyelids, fur loss, scratching, and sneezing. These symptoms are very similar to an upper respiratory problem called the "snuffles" which can quickly become deadly if not treated with antibiotics. If one sees any of these symptoms they should take the rabbit to the vet immediately.

All of that said, the problem may be Allergies and the rabbit should be moved to a new location (with a sanitized cage) and if that does not help simplify the diet until food allergies can be ruled out. The vet may be able to proscribe a bunny-dosed (based on weight) allergy medication if the previous treatments did not work.

Are rabbits allergic to anything?

Yes rabbit fur contains allergens also. It is sweaters, glove linings, pillows, and more. It is used in winter clothing and such because the fur of the Angora rabbit is said to be 10 times warmer than that of sheep wool. Also, at times it is added to make clothing softer. People can be allergic to this fur, as I first discovered my allergies when I bought two sweaters with Angora rabbit fur.

Buying a rabbit if you have allergies?

If you are allergic to rabbits it probably isn't a good idea to buy one because you will not enjoy it as well as some other animal. Also, if you have allergies to alfalfa hay, timothy hay, or grass, you probably don't want to get a rabbit, as they eat all of these regularly.

That depends on how your body reacts to the hamsters hair and saliva. I have a dog and a cat.

It's not difficult once you get use to it.

I have two dogs already but they are outside because my dad is allergic to them so what would be a good inside pet that is not to big but not snakes or anything weird something cuddly?

Maybe a Cat or Hamster or even a bunny rabbit would be a good idea. It depends on how devoted you are because if you get anything small like a Hamster your going to have to clean up the mess. And a Rabbit might claw you if your trying to cuddle it. Get something fluffy but try and get a baby one so it will get used to you cuddling it. Remember to clip a rabbit's claws in case their claws get too sharp. Anyone allergic to dogs is likely allergic to most other furry or feathered animals as well. Also, some people with allergies are able to tolerate certain breeds of dog such as shih tzus.
