Young Bun
my bunny is 10weeks i got him last week from pets at home but he his now poorly he as discharge from the nose which is bacterial i have been given medcine for him but should a rabbit become ill within a week? should i go and keep up fuss with pets at home thanks
 
Sorry to hear your new bunny is unwell. How do you know the discharge is bacterial? Has the rabbit seen a vet? I would definitely complain to Pets@home if it was my rabbit. What medicine is you bunny on?

One of my bunnies currently has pneumonia, the only sympton she had of this in the beginning was discharge from her nose. We only found out what was wrong with her after X-rays and her snot being sent away to the lab.

Let us know how you get on with your bun? :wave:
 
he went to vets yesturday for injections and vet told me he was unwell but he cant stop sneezing and he his on baytril thanks
 
Sounds like your bun may have snuffles (Pasturella).

I would certainly put pets@home in the picture and keep vets receipts as they may well pay them for you.
 
What has your vet said? How long has he been poorly? Is he having Baytril injections? How often?

Is he eating and drinking and pooing normally?

Ask the Vet if its Pasturella. Do a search on hear and look it up.

As your bunny is very young he is vulnerable, to lots of thing, you need to keep a very close eye on him, keep the vet updated and if you are not seeing improvement or see any deterioration get him back to the vet asap. Young buns can go downhill very quickly.
 
Does your pets@home have a companion care vet - if so you need to speak to a manager at the store and book a vet appointment. They should cover the cost of the vet care.

Unfortunately P@H have a bit of a rep for snuffle buns.

I have found adding enchinea to drinking water effective at boosting the immune system in supressed buns. Also have found they seem to do better indoors where they are not exposed to such drastic variations in temp.

There is also a lot of problems w/ breeder's rabbits. That's a sign of a lack of genetic diversification.

=================

is the bunny adopted or a purchase breeder's rabbit from P@H?
