Hello, Everyone.
I am brand new here (and have been a bun parent for just one month). My husband had two bunnies as a child and is thrilled to share his life with two of them again.
Zoe and Emma (our Mini Rex girls) were taken to the vet within their first week home. The vet noticed swelling in Zoe's tummy and tested her for Coccidia. The result was positive, and both girls were put on Albon for two weeks.
Zoe's appetite and thirst has remained strong, and she's acting like a normally bunny, as far as we can tell. I'm concerned, though, because her tummy is still a little more poufy than Emma's, even though she's now completely done with the medication.
Is it normal (or at least possible) for a rabbit's stomach region to remain somewhat enlarged after treatment for Coccidia? Is it "bad"/abnormal to still have some enlargement, or does it actually take more time for it to decrease?
I just don't know if I'm overly worrying at this time, or not.
I would appreciate any advice that you can provide me.
Jenk
