Guys am wondering if anyone can help me here..To quickly bring everyone up to date, Jen started with a snuffly nose & slightly gooey eyes over a month ago, she then got worms, and now some kind of skin infection. Its a cold night tonight, Jen lives outdoors, and her ears are raging. So warm. Not sure if buns do get temperatures? Felt Rhias and they're real cold, as i'd expect J's to be too. I have a feeling somethings wrong that we dont know about thats triggering all this off...but no idea what! :( Shes pretty much fine in herself I think. Shes really horrible to Rhia in the hutch so think Im going to have to split them up, which i'm sure will devestate them both because theyre so loved up the rest of the time..Having such a cr*p time atm and dont have the energy to be able to think straight and sort this out :cry: Any advice much appreciated. Thanks Guys Xx
 
yes buns can get a temperature . Id get her to the vets and mention that her ears feel hot the vet should check her temp . She may have an infection somewhere.

Hope had a temperature for a couple of days when she was ill and Star had a temperature when his abcess was bad.

Hope shes ok .
 
Don't really have any advice, I'm afraid, but hope Jen feels better soon.
 
Thank You, Angie you may have something there with the abcess-she does have a lump where this skin thing is :? Forgot to say as well, we've been back & forth to the vets and nothing is getting better (aside from the worms) Xx
 
Becki, is this why you were asking about what abcesses looked like a few days ago?

Sending loads of vibes for Jen...

hope she feels better soon. If she's not very well that might be why shes being mean to Rhia when they are in the cage?
 
Sending vibes for Jen.

The only thing worse than a bunny being ill is them being ill and not knowing why :(
