Grace went to see Aidan Rafferty at Ashleigh in Manchester yesterday to get a second and more expert opinion on her respiratory problem. She was kept in overnight, along with her bonded friend Olive, so that Aidan could take xrays, swabs and perform an endoscopy today. Picked them up this evening. She is on antibiotic injections (aaaah!!!) and oral Metacam for the next ten days until the test results come back at which point the antibiotic may change. The swab she had done by my own regular vet some time ago came back as a bacteria called Pseudomosis which Aidan said is very unusual in rabbits. When I googled it I found next to no information at all. Unfortunately the problem is in her sinuses which are full of pus. He said this will be more difficult to treat than if it was in the nasal passages. Anyway we shall try and I will be nursey with the scary injections. It's now that I wish Grace was more handlable. Both buns have eaten a small amount but one of them (I assume Gracie) has soft poos. Is this normal after all she has been through today? I did not notice any soft poos when they were spayed. Also of the two of them Olive seems most upset and stressed. Grace has to go back for a check up shortly and I am thinking of leaving Olive at home as she hates the car and is so upset by this whole episode. Any advice please on any of these issues as I am very worried about them both at the moment and yet only Grace is actually poorly.
