Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / July 2008Pepper sickly again
5 weeks ago we stopped the antibiotics. 2 weeks ago they did a culture and found no more signs of pasturella. 2 days ago she started sneezing again, and leaving more than half her salad on the plate. Here we go again :( Called vet this morning, and paid over the phone for more chloro-whatsit to be picked up from their emergency clinic later this afternoon. Same dosage as before plus the probiotic and a vet check in 3 weeks. So apparently this is life with a pasturella-positive bunny. Poor thing. Wendy Zski Aww, so sorry Wendy, Some buns I've read stay on meds permanently. I wonder if Pepper could take some immune boosting type vitamins or things. Beth might know what would be good....Beth??

Hay aggravates Liza into sneezing around here, does it bother Pepper. Carla Liza and Jodie - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutpets.com/group/alt.pets.rabbits More information at http://www.talkaboutpets.com/faq.htm I'm sorry, Wendy. That's a shame. But pasteurella can be managed, and it just becomes a small part of your daily routine. Pepper will feel good again, and so will you. Nona when we started amber on his treament for pasturella i got him on a vitamin regmine.. bunny vits, vit C. and coQ10..... Hi Wendy I'm sorry Pepper's down with it again. Cinnamon has chronic Pseudomonas so I can appreciate how you feel about this. I'll be dosing her with antibiotics for the rest of her life to keep on top of it.

I hope with the meds you can manage the disease. Pepper is in good hands with you.

I'm sorry Wendy :-(. That is really odd that 2 weeks ago there was nothing and here it's started up again. Has *anything* happened in the last two weeks? Something that might have altered her environment, stressed her out and allowed the infection to grab hold again? I'm glad that she's got such a good bunmom to watch out for her. How long did you treat her last time? I wonder if it would be best to add another couple weeks to whatever it was, just to be certain? Did the vet say anything else about it - or indicate that it was not unexpected? I remember dealing with Roger's pasteurella - and for the most part he was one happy go lucky little guy, pasteurella notwithstanding! He was always easy to give meds to!! LOVED banana flavored baytril, although we ended up giving bicillin injections as I recall. I get confused which we were treating with bicillin first - the pasteurella or the wounds he got from little Miss Rosie! Laurie dr mann tells me with chronic things like this. we were gonna treat pj this way.. but.... it is best to pulse the meds.. one week a month. just give it. for prevention. you might want to ask your vet about this method. > dr mann tells me with chronic things like this. we were gonna treat pj > this way.. but.... > it is best to pulse the meds.. one week a month. just give it. for > prevention. you might want to ask your vet about this method. I will do - we're dosing for 3 weeks and then a recheck. WZ > I'm sorry Wendy :-(. That is really odd that 2 weeks ago there was nothing > and here it's started up again.

I'm preparing to move in a month and have been taking things apart and cleaning. This is why I waited a few days before calling after she started sneezing. *I* was sneezing too - from all the fluff that was under the bookshelves! She was also in a huge shed for the past few weeks. > I'm glad that she's got such a good bunmom to watch out for her. How long > did you treat her last time?

Last time we started with Baytril (which helped for a little and then stopped) and then teh chloro-whatsits for 4 weeks. I have 3 weeks to dose her and then back to the vet for "what to do next". > I remember dealing with Roger's pasteurella - and for the most part he was > one happy go lucky little guy, pasteurella notwithstanding!

Sending her continued get back to your old self and start getting well vibes. Carla Liza and Jodie. |
