We took a baby wildie in last night. It has had a cat attack. Cat held it by the head, and it has a bald patch on the top of its head, and down the neck. Approx 4 weeks old.
It is doing well in my incubator, and nomming huge amounts of grass and (safe) wild flowers. It is very alert, and bouncy. Ears up and washing itself.
i am worried about it's eyes. They are half shut and partially swollen.
I am getting it to the vet tomorrow, but I am 90% certain that the eye problems are related to the cat attack on the head. However, the 10% of me fears myxi.
no pics because my camera is dead, but how common is myxi in wild bunnies this age?
Most of my rabbits are fully vaccinated. 3 have only just had their VHD vacc, and not yet the myxi one, and 3 are too young for the vaccines. I am dealing with all other buns before I touch the baby wildie (who is flea-free), but i dont want to take a risk.
No apparent wounds on the bunny, just slightly crusty half-closed eyes. No snotty nose, no other signs to worry about.
Any ideas peoples??
