hi guys i need your opinions and advice. Thyme is my oldest bun, she is about 7 now, although not sure exactly how old, another unwanted child's pet.
recently she had a wet nose and was sneezing. i took her to the vets, they gave her a long lasting anti-biotic jab and some baytril. i brought her home and kept her indoors to keep her warm. they also said her chest was very rattly.
after nearly 3 weeks her nose was dry, her chest clear and she was bored! so i put her back outside with the other 6. it is always stressful for any of them to be away from the group and there is always a lot of chasing, fur pulling etc when any bun returns.
Thyme has suffered all this and the usual bites that one of my does likes to give out if somebun leaves and comes back.
she was doing fine, however last night and tonight her nose is very wet again with a lot of mucus. I have cont to dose her with baytril.
So the dilemma; I will take her to the vet again tomorrow for a check up and more anti-biotics. but when i bring her home do I;
option A - put her back in the shed, in the group where she is happiest and ensure snuggle safes are available, keep dosing her, and avoid her having to rebond with the group again
or option B - keep her indoors, on her own, lonely, get her well, then put her back outside, needing to rebond with the group, getting bitten again and then potentially getting poorly again.
I wonder whether having her indoors lowered her immune system and that may be why she has got poorly again,
help guys!
