I was just checking Rubix over and his breathing sounds quite noisy and his paws look dirty where I'm guessing he's been wiping his nose with his paws. His eyes are fine and he's not sneezing, he's eating fine as well. Should I take him to the vets? I'm going away on Sunday so if there's anything wrong I want him seen to now. Thanks guys xx

Hi Fran sorry to hear rubix is feelgin under the weather... is he an outdoor bun? or do you mean wet paws when you say dirty paws?
Havent really had much experience with this so sorry I cant help that much, btu if you are going away soon and rubix isnt too well then it may be worth going to the vets for peace of mind if nothing else?
(Is he feeding and pooing as normal?)
Hope rubix feels better soon :(
 
He's inside, in the conservatory that has a heater in it. Yeah he's been eating & pooing fine just that he sounds snuffly. His paws aren't wet but it looks like he's wiped his paws on his nose & now it's dried if that makes sense :? Have booked him in now, couldn't get an appt. till 3.45 though but hopefully that will stop me worrying :) xx
 
Well thats good Fran, you will know for sure what it is if anything then :D
Let us know how is goes this afternoon, ((((hugs)))) to Rubix
 
It sounds like Rubix may have a respiratory tract infection which will need antibiotic treatment as soon as possible. These things tend to get worse if left to their own devices.
 
We're back from the vets, he checked him & Sophie over & there wasn't anything wrong, just said to keep an eye on him. Didn't make us pay anyway :) xx
 
Thats good news Fran :D maybe it was just something that came and went - bit of dust maybe? Molly is a weezer, always has been, louder in some positions than others... sounds almost like she is protesting sometimes :lol:
 
Maybe...really don't know tbh. Just hope he doesn't come down with anything while I'm away anyway, I worry enough about my little boy as it is :roll: Person who's looking after them knows to take them to the vets if they're not quite right though :D xx
