Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / September 2008Bad news and good news
Okay, folks, Christopher Rabbit needs some vibes. Something's going on with his respiratory system -- runny eyes, some sneezing, and this funny untypical clucking sound when he's upset (as in getting nails clipped) or active (as in eating cecals... yes, that's an active thing). He is eating and pooping well, so I'm not totally distressed, but kind of worried. The good news is that there is a new vet in town who not only claims to know rabbits, but has rabbits herself. I am SO excited! Unfortunately I can't get in to see her until Thursday, so keep those vibes coming. I know how fast bunnies can go downhill, and this time lag definitely has me worried. <big sigh> At least I don't have to try to get into Vancouver for this. Arlette, I'll let you know how it goes and whether we have a new vet for our rabbit-savvy lists. Michele Thanks Michele! I'm sorry that CR isn't feeling tip top. That clucking sounds reminds me a bit of Cocoa...it could be from drainage in the head somewhere. That is what put Cocoa on bicillin permanently, but he was so old, it was prevention as well. Gee, couldn't you call and beg and plead a bit more...if that vet knows bunnies, she/he must know that four days is a long time if a bun has an infection. If that's what it is. Don't mean to worry you...it never hurt to plead a little :) How are his teeth? I'm very thrilled if you do get a rabbit savvy vet!!!!  SignatureGod Bless, Arlette & Cocoa in heaven Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God -- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. John 1:12-13 If Beth is correct, then he needs to see a vet asap. Pneumonia can develop very quickly with a respiratory infection. Please try to impress upon the vets this urgency.

John 1:12-13 I'm afraid that my schedule is part of the problem, too... It's not just the vet. I do know that CR is definitely not 100% okay AND that rabbits hide illness well, but he is definitely hanging in there, and I'm watching him carefully. Right now he's chowing down on a broccoli plant minus the broccoli -- a favourite treat of his at this time of year. The leaves and stalks make for as much a toy as food. If he starts to go downhill at all, my story will certainly change. Please keep those vibes coming!!!! Michele & CR plus Todd-the-Dog > If Beth is correct, then he needs to see a vet asap.

Sending positive vibes. Carla Liza and Jodie. Hi Picking up on Michele's last para:- Arlette does you list include vets this (eastern) side of the Atlantic? I could add a very good one in Cardiff.

Sending positive vibes. Carla Liza and Jodie. Hi Richard, Yes please dear, I collect all names of good bunny vets. The UKcompanion rabbit list keeps a good list of vets and I will put their link on my page, but you have to join their group to see the list. Usually I would put the UK vets on there, but I think I'll list them separately as well. I just need to update my site.

(((((CR))))) SignatureHazel,Dylan,Zebedee & Molko. (Dougal FTB) http://community.webshots.com/user/hmpayn Good vibes coming your way dear! If you can't actually get to the vet in person until Thursday, I'd suggest at least getting a good hearty phone consult ASAP. This sounds a bit like Kuni when he has had two flares of an upper respiratory infection and has needed Baytril. So far, Lasst year's flare took a few courses of different antibiotics, (not to mention some scarring on my part when I had to give Kuni nose drops for a couple of them =:-P ) and the one this summer that we caught very early was knocked out with a 10 day course of Baytril. My little soulbunny has been doing well since then. Stuff like Pasteurella can stay nasal and yucky for a while but it can turn on a rabbit so quickly too-I tend to worry about that one. Many healing vibes and prayer to Christopher Rabbit and for Michele too from alll of down south in Long Beach. Cheers, Diva Raul [I'm having flashbacks of the bunny burrito, isn't that covered in the Geneva Convention?]. Kuni [banana Baytril...must...resist...] and Noodles [she stuck those drops WHERE? YECCH!] >Okay, folks, Christopher Rabbit needs some vibes. Something's going on with >his respiratory system -- runny eyes, some sneezing, and this funny [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Michele |
