Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

Hi One of my Bunnys ears is swollen?

E

EllieHelps

New Kit
It looks like he has a bite or something, I had to have his mate put down a week and a half ago as she got Myxi, and her eyes and ears were swollen and weapy, and her nose was runny, she was wheezing

Im really scared he has it too, he had his jab 30th June, but she had been jabbed as well or so I was told when I adopted her

I totally cleaned the cage out after she was put down, and he has looked ok until today, its the part nearest his head thats swollen and really looks like hes been bitten, am I worrying too much? I dont know how Myxi shows its self normally
