matt is so snuffly. he would love some nose rubs please

poor matt. i feel so sorry for him. he's so snuffly. but this time is quite a bad one and he seems quite upset about it. i've ordered his stronger meds and i've had to put his nebulising up to 30mins twice a day and his metacam up slightly aswell whilst we wait for the meds to arrive.

this is the worst i've seen him in a while to be honest. alot is draining out though which must feel awful but at least it's coming out. but he's sneezing quite alot and the side of his nose that is always worse sounds very bunged up. when he's extra snuffly you can hear the 'wheezing/squeaking' inside his body. (for anyone worried it's not his chest, he has been checked for it many times. it's the echo noise from the back on the nose)

he just sounds so bunged up and 'squeaky'

he usually gets a bit upset and agitated which he is now, pulling at his nose, but yesterday he even got a bit gassy from the stress. luckily one dose of maxolon and some tummy rubs sorted that but he's not right.

we're giving loads and loads of nose rubs. he moves his head up until you're rubbing just above his nostrils. he loves it so much he relaxes and starts to fall asleep. he's such a loving bun and needs so much affection at these time.

so any spare nose rubs for him he would love. and i hope his stronger meds get here tomorrow.

Aww loads of nose of nose rubs. Grim is the same I wonder if it's the weather?

Aww hope matt feels better soon! Honeys been sneezing:roll: loads of noserubs and cuddles for you Matt!

Ginger's the same too - it tends to be humidity that affects us - thats why we never close the windows in here. The air always needs to be 'fresh' and 'airy' if that makes sense.

Nose rubs

the weather swaps and changes so much and i do think it affects matt alot. he moults alot aswell and then that makes him sneeze. he keeps 'asking' to be nebulised. he jumps up next to it and grooms it then looks at me. he knows it helps him.

thanks for the nose rubs. he's sneezing alot so has cleared alot of snot but still sounds very bunged up. by day 4 of genticin added in aswell though all the sneezing and squeaking stops. that stuff is amazing for matt.

Sending lots and lots of noserubs for beautiful Matt

Sending loads and loads of noserubs xx

ohh poor little bun, I do feel for him. Hope he's feeling better soon x

Oddly, its warmer today and Ginger's quieter too. We prefer it cool here, it keeps the air more moist and doesn't dry out. Has been sat in their pen all day, not come out once.

Neublisation later perhaps.

Lots of special nose clearing rubs for Matt and some nose rubs for Bisc as well.

Sending loads of nose rubs for your gorgeous boy. xxx

Aww poor Matt, I hope his medication helps him. Sending loads of noserubs for him xxx

his medicine arrived this afternoon so he had his first lot this evening. he now has about 3-4 days of clearing it all which he doesn't mind too much because it's thinned alot and easier to clear. and by day 4 there is no sneezing and sooooo much less snot. then days 4-7 he is fine. :thumb:

matt is hardly sneezing at all now and has loads of energy! he's much much happier now.

Sending vibes. I have a snuffles bun, so know how stressful it is to see them suffer x

matts just so happy again now. he is doing some of the biggest binkies i've seen from him! :shock:

Great news!

Grim's been happy again today as well, doing dead bunny flops right when I needed to medicate him and he looked so happy I had to come back and do the medication later.

I'm going to start a snuffle bunnies thread to see if they cycle at the same time and if it's to do with weather etc.

Glad to hear Matt is doing better. Having just gotten Mimzy's nasal issues more controlled recently, I have a special place in my heart for other snuffly bubs.

Here's to many more goober-free days for Matt!

good idea. the weather is definitely the main thing that affects matt. he has been a bit more sneezy today again. the weather keeps changing and unsettling him again. he's still happy though. been dragging my trainers round the room all day. :roll::lol:
