hi all

posted on a previous thred that bert had some white discharge on his nose. He is 7 months, a house bun and otherwise very happy and healthy (eating and pooing fine) I read up on snuffles in rabbits and took him straight to the vets yesterday.

The vet checked his teeth, temperature and had a good look over him. All seemed to be fine, he had an injection of marbocyl P and is now taking it in pill form for 8 days as well as bio lapis which I have to put in his water.

He is eating plenty of hay and eating all his food but I am still unsure as to what is wrong with him. He seems to be lacking in energy at the moment and seeping alot.

really need some advice????????
 
It sounds as though he has an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. Hopefuly the Marbocyl will get on top of the infection and Bert's symptoms will resolve.
He may be more lethargic than usual as he probably feels a bit 'off colour'.
Just make sure he continues to eat and poo normally. Also, as he is a House Bun he may be effected by central heating. This dries out the atmosphere and can irritate a Buns Respiratory Tract. You can help minimise this by turning down the heating and by using humidifiers.

update!!

Just got a humidifier for berts room, I have turned the heating down and am leaving the windows open for longer. He is still sneezing but very little and his nose is getting a bit better. He is also getting a bigger home next week as he has outgrown his own. Im going to get him a dog crate so he can be on different levels lol
