the 2 rabbit specialists have got back to my vet

finally..its been over a week now...but the edinburgh specialist has got back to our vet..and richard saunders from bristol bunny clinic has too.

the opinion seems to be that berties seizures could well be his pasturella....only way to tell is a scan..and with his breathing probs..a GA to have a scan i feel would be stupid. and far too risky:(

he definately has pasturella i know that and its very much still active.....i have been giving him metacam the last few nights and he seems a bit better..especially with his stiff old back legs...and he seems a bit more relaxed.

the vets have come to the conclusiont hat putting bertie on depocillian injections every 5 days for 6 weeks should hopefully be enough to knock the infection back..for a while longer than the constant courses of baytril.

as for bluebell..it maybe that she got cured but reinfected herself.......so if my steam cleaner wont work ill will have to make do with scrubbing out the litter tray and then use a few kettles of scalding hot water until i can sort it.

The specialists have advised baycox for 2 to 3 days then one weeks gap..then 2 to 3 days of baycox...then wait ten days and repeat fecal float test.

i need to ring tuesday to see if the baycox is in...then i have to book an appointment for bertie to have another blood test..this time for TOXOPLASMOSIS:shock:

then bertie can also have his first depocillin injection....and bluebell can be reweighed to calculate her dose.

she was 4.o8kg last time...shes growing like crazy right now!
 
Sorry your buns are so unwell. Well done get so much specialist help which will surely get to the bottom of it and get the right treatment. Sending healing vibes xxx
 
Aw poor Bertie. :(

At least now you have more answers you can maybe tackle the situation a little easier. I hope you'll start to see some signs of recovery soon and less seizures.

Tons of vibes for them - and hugs for you xx :love:
 
thank you so much:wave:

yes i am afraid its always my pets who seem to ill a lot:(

i hope this helps bertie out.......anything to help him.

berties the centre of our family:love:
 
fingers crossed that now you have a possible answer they will both get better very soon and you can relax again xxx
 
This with Claire?

Let me know when you're back up there and I'll try and pop up if you want?

Harley had depocillin jabs....that's what finally kicked the abscess and I really really hope they help Bertie :love:

Edited to add, sorry I'm late to this thread, only just seen it :oops:
