The Results Are In (C&S) UD: Pasteurella and Moraxella

Pebblesetc · Jun 22, 2011

Got a call from the vet saying he's going to call me later to talk about Buckley's C&S results.
Eep.
**everything crossed**

It's been over a week since he took the swab so I'm guessing it's something slow growing and stealthy. Argh, so nervous. It's like getting exam results!

Hope you get some useful results.

Ours didn't show anything which is even more frustrating.

shelley · Jun 22, 2011

Fingers crossed it shows something!

helennnnnn · Jun 22, 2011

Good luck hope you it shows something so you can get to the bottom of it!

biscandmatt1 · Jun 22, 2011

good luck. matts first one didn't show anything but his next two did.

if they are ringing after a week they probably have found something.

Pebblesetc · Jun 22, 2011

Ok.

Just got the call from The Great Vet Burgess.
It is 2 things causing Buckley his problems:
- Pasteurella
- Moraxella

Both were found to be sensitive to Baytril and Penicillin.
He's reluctant to use Penicillin (for obvious reasons) so he's going to give us a 10 day course of Baytril and a powder to make the nasal discharge thinner as it will help the Baytril to work better.

We are to pick the medicine up tomorrow or Friday and give him a call in 8-10 days to update him on Buckley's progress.

Fingers crossed!

Good to know you've found something, hopefully the meds will kick it!

I hope your bun gets better very soon. x

and a powder to make the nasal discharge thinner

Bisolven is really good, we use it lots for Bluebell.

Loads of vibes for Buckley xxx

Can I just ask why reluctant to use penecillin? Not as a judgement just as I've used it several times (And am currently using it) and it has been a literal life-saver XX

Because we haven't tried Baytril yet and the bacteria showed high sensitivity to Baytril as well as Penicillin. I think because Buckley is still young and growing our vet wants to explore the most bunny-friendly option before jumping in at the deep end. With Buckley everything really has to be done in baby steps. I guess it's an individual rabbit thing

Poor Buckley.

But at least you are getting to the bottom of it. If you've not used Baytril before I understand going for that first. But it does taste horrible so I recommend hiding it in food.

Yeah, I was gonna make him a bunny smoothie, spiked with Baytril haha.

Doing meds seems like a military operation...

banana - check
knife - check (for cutting banana)
fork - check (for mashing banana)
spoon - check (for feeding banana)
syringes - check
meds - check
saucer - check

Oh and bunny - check

:lol::lol::lol:

Except I don't need a spoon to feed the drugged banana - Hopscotch eats it off the plate and even licks the plate clean :shock: If you take too long to put it on the floor he stands on his back legs, puts his front paws on the plate, and pulls it down faster!

I'm so glad Bluebell is so laid back, I can syringe him meds and do whatever I like to him without a fuss and it still feels like a military op at med time. Must be even worse for those of you with awkward bunnies.
