Thanks to everyone that has been sending messages about Sunny's mixxi. For anyone who doesn't already know Sunny is at about day 13/14 of mixxi. He was vaccinated from it just 2 days before the first signs, so I am not sure that it will have helped or not, especially as the incubation period is about 10 days. He is just 4/5 months old and was paired up with our older rabbit Snowdrop (18 months old) who also had the condition and had to be pts a week and half ago. They had only been together properly for about 3 weeks but Sunny definitely reacted to her going. At the moment he is still eating and drinking well. He has very swollen eyes (completely closed) and ears and lumps under his chin. You can hear him struggling to breath and although he cant see he is still trying to hop about. we have got him indoors with us and are using olbas oil and eye drops to try and help him. Our vet wanted to have him pts but gave us 2 days to see how he went because he was still eating well and bright. I admit that 2 days was up yesterday and I haven't taken him back yet because i think she will want him pts and I wasn't convinced he was ready for that. Today I am starting to think I should think about because of all the messages I have read about it being hopeless if he wasn't vaccinated and I don't want him suffering for weeks for nothing. But I still don't feel he is ready for it. This morning I was adamant I was going to the vet to tell her I wanted more medication for him, so you can see I am really swinging from one of thinking to another. Just as I look at him and think he's suffering too much he does something to make think he still full of life. Sorry for the rambling, but that is how things are at the moment.
