we want to give casper the best time we can and wed love for him to kick up his heels in the garden..he doesnt stay still long enough for the ants to bother him......

if i keep him penned off to one side of the garden will it mean the grass will still be infected from him so if the other two buns go anywhere enar the edge of the penend off area when hes indoors that they will get it.

ellen said any open wound they can..bertie with his eye ulcer and where theyve taken blood.

or does it die off in the air after a few hours?

if its too dangerous then i will tka ehim over to mums garden maybe and set up a pen....her bun cant go outside in her garden cos of the neighbours cats who kill buns daily in the fields and eat birds left right and centre in fornt of my mum in her garden. but we will be with capser..no who am i kidding theyll get him..nope not safe enuff.

just wonder what else we could do to let him run free and wild like we planned to in shifts before we found the pus.....not defiend as pasturella as culture etc couldnt be taken but if we presume it she said as its acting like typical pasturella infection.

It can survive for several days in moist conditions apparently.
 
In order to have an explanation on how the bacteria develops and the environment it lives in, I suggest to type "pasteurella bacteria" in search in Google, as they are many links to medical/scientific sites, so you will know how and where it can survive.. just to be on the safe side for your bunny.. as it is present in the environment and in animals, humans etc... and can become infectious under certains conditions... it is a bacteria similar to pseudomonas who live in moist environment, plants etc but its structure is different, and its treatement too...

yes because you get accurate scientific data so I think it is best unless there is a scientist specialised in bacteria here ;)
 
I did !!!:wave: so please go to Google and type "pasteurella bacteria" )or the other way round) and you get a full page with links to medical in English etc...
