Hi everyone

Does anyone know how long a bunnys nose stays blocked up with Myxi? Our bun was not vaccinated and we are on the 8th day and have to make a decision as she is not eating or drinking anymore, we are feeding her but would like to know how long this nose stage lasts?

I cant say 'how long' it will last but as she was not vaccinated I fear that you may be fighting a losing battle :cry: The secondary infection may already have gone on to lungs :cry:
If she has now stopped eating and drinking I think you should get her back to the Vets this afternoon to discuss options.
I wish I could be more optomistic in this post but I am affraid I cant

:cry: :cry:

A miracle!

We were going to take her back this afternoon as you say, but we thought we'd have one last go at clearing her nose, we used a jug of boiling water for the steam and cleaned her nose for 10 minutes - she then drank some water and ate 15 dandelions on the run!!!!

We are so over the moon for this tiny positive thing but will now continue with the steam therapy every few hours. But if anyone does know how long the stuffed up nose lasts please let us know. Many thanks.
 
Rabbits can linger for a fortnight or more with myxi, i think a stuffy nose should be the least of your worries,as your bun is unvaccinated survival rates are slim to none.If your bun is no longer eating or drinking you should seriously consider having her put to sleep - both my rabbits who had myxi were still eating & drinking when i decided to have them pts as i knew they were not going to get better.Sorry for being blunt but you may be prolonging the innevitable at your rabbits expense :(
 
How long had she stopped eating and drinking? If she stopped eating and drinking and then ate all these dandelions her gut is going to go into overdrive, and that will add to her problems.
