Hi all
Well, I have been to the vets with Simba this morning. It wasn't the vets I wanted to go to, but one she has been to twice before (though she has now seen a total of 3 vets there). I don't think they are very rabbit savvy but I couldn't wait for her to go to the other one, as te rabbit savvy vet wasn't working today.
The vet today listened to her chest and said her lungs were "crackly" and prescribed 3 weeks of baytril. 0.5ml twice a day and 0.1ml of metacam once a day. I asked the vet to check her teeth after being told on here that could be the problem.
She said that it is a respiratory infection and not to do with teeth, said her teeth were fine at a glance but they couldn't see properly unless putting her under anasthetic and that would be dangerous with her being snotty and sneezy.
She said that if this doesn't work, the only other option is penicillin by injection 5 once a day for five days and that would come with a big risk.
Simba is as usual eating, drinking and weeing etc and seems fine other than loads of snot and sneezes.
What do you all think
