Hi,
As some of you may know I had two new baby bunnies noodle and twiglet on the 23rd of this month.
On the day we had them, twiglet was grunting which i put down to nervousness, never the less I booked them in for a health check for tomorrow.
Yesterday I was outside and twiglet made a really loud 'QUACK' noise when she was eating. She did it twice and I thought maybe some food went down the wrong hole. She went quiet and still for a minute and looked a bit shaken up but then carried on eating and playing.
I though nothing more of it but today (in front of me and my OH) she was cleaning but started doing it again 'QUACK' then a 3 second pause then 'QUACK'... About two hours later she had a huge sneezing fit which lasted about a minute and caused her whole body to shake with the force of it. I tried to stroke her to comfort her but it kept going. Clear fluid came down her nose but then she just hopped off and played with her toys.
I immediately called the vets as she is only 10 weeks old I had no idea what it could be. I drove to our nearest vetinary hospital and paid £76 for a consultation and a weeks worth of baytril.
The vet checked her really well, the discharge had gone, her ears were clear, he said she had some spurs coming on her right lower teeth but this had not caused any ulceration or cuts so was unlikely to be the problem.
He listened to her chest for ages and stuck a thermometer up the poor girls bum but said her chest sounded really clear. He prescribed a week of baytril 'in case' and gave her an injection of antibiotics. He thinks maybe the stress of moving house and being outside for the first time might be the cause. He doubts it is an allergy and said if it was pastuerella then she would have a white discharge...
Does anyone know what this is? She is running round fine now and playing. Just worried next time we go out she will be dead! Vet has said to return in a week if she is still suffering with these fits.
I bought a sachet of recovery just incase, I do have a bad feeling about this....
any ideas ???
