        Trying not to panic right now, but I just noticed my little Holland Lop has a small damp/wet spot on his lip, just beneath his right nostril. He’s 11 weeks old, and he’s acting completely normal. He’s never had this before, and there’s no visible discharge from what I’m seeing, so could this be just a little splash from his water bottle? He likes to lie down underneath of it sometimes. He’s in an x-pen, and the only “bedding” is pine pellets in his litter box. They turn to a compact clump of sawdust when wet, and it doesn’t really look like it’s powdery, so it couldn’t be a result of that, right? I’m a new bunny owner, as you’ll probably know from my last posts. He’s being given his hay, pellets, and fresh water every day. I make sure his cage is always clean, and he gets plenty of exercise every day. Is this my fault? I’m sorry if this seems like common sense, I just want to make sure before I take him to the vet. Thanks to all who take the time to read this!

          Sometimes buns can have wet noses and it doesn’t have to mean discharge. Keep an eye out for sneezing, discharge, etc but he could have just wet his nose from a salad or his water or sneezed to clear a piece of hay out of his nose and got some liquid from that on him, or anything really.

            I will definitely keep an eye out for those symptoms! It’s a relief to hear that it’s not an immediate cause for concern. I read somewhere before that having a wet nose meant the rabbit was sick, and that’s why I was so worried. Thank you for responding. c:

              Powder (my male) has had a wet nose for various reasons, but never been sick. Stickers, my female, is sick often right now and the wetness on her nose is different. A little thicker, more sticky, gets hay and other debri in it and makes a little trickle pattern under her nose (since that is where it is coming from). Powders just is wet to the touch, no noticeable pattern and nothing sticks to it and it isn’t all the time.
