I feel like the worst bunny mummy in the world.

Boris' snuffles are worse and it's all my fault :cry: I should've realised that 15 days of Septrin wasnt enough. I should've contacted the vets sooner about getting more. Now theyre refusing & he's getting worse, I don't know what to do. The only other vet in my area is 45 minutes away so getting anyone to drive me & Boris there is gonna be very difficult :cry: I feel so awful, cant escape that horrible feeling of guilt...I just wish I could go back in time and change everything :cry: Make everything right. I have a poorly bunny and a vet who's clueless & refuses to keep giving him antibiotics even if thats what he needs :cry: I'm gonna have to spend all of tomorrow trying to convince them that its the right thing for him & if that fails I have to take him to the other vet further away. Sorry if this sounds stupid but I hate myself now, I dont deserve bunnies, I knew this vet was **** all along & that if they could be convinced itd take a while, so why the heck did I wait this long!? He's quite poorly now & its all my fault :cry: I've let him down. I feel so so horrible :(

Don't feel guilty you are doing the best you can...i know its sometimes difficult getting a vet who knows what they are doing with bunnies so don't be hard on yourself. Try a different vet in your area and I hope you sort Boris out soon. Sending a hug to Boris and one to you as well xxx
 
Oh bless you, its so not your fault :( Your vet sounds useless, he/she has a responsibility to learn more about rabbit medicine. You are paying for their services afterall, you wouldnt pay any other professional for doing a bad job :evil:

I hope you can persuade them to give him more treatment and that Boris feels better soon xxxx
 
Thank you, I'm just fed up with having to defend myself to these people and stand up for what I believe is the right thing when I get nothing in return, they're not listening to anything I say even if one of the best vets in the country (who unfortunately is too far away) agrees with me. I dont know why it's so difficult for them to understand that 1. Boris DOES have snuffles and 2. Boris DOES need longer courses of Septrin every once in a while to keep this at bay. I've told them so many times, but because its coming from me & not from the actual experienced vet they dont listen. Even with all the evidence I have, they're not listening. They're not taking it in. I cant cope with this anymore. Something needs to happen, I either have to find a different vet or get a more experienced vet to truly back me up on this so they'll allow me to continue treating him with Septrin for as long as I live here. I try so hard to stay strong & keep fighting for Boris but sometimes it gets too much and I break down. I've hardly stopped crying all afternoon :(
 
Can you ring the good vet and ask if it's okay for your vet to ring them? When my vets haven't known exactly what to do they have rung a specialist so I can stay at the same vet and they learn more.

When my chinchilla broke her arm it wasn't healing in a cast. It couldn't be pinned as it was too near the joint and it seemed like the only option was amputation. My vet rang the exotic specialists and had a chat with them, they said we could take the cast off and see if it healed without it. It was something to do with the muscles healing while it was in a cast that would keep it stable. Anyway we tried it and her arm healed. It's only a tiny bit wonky but she has the use of her hand again. And my vet now works for those specialists.
 
I would change vets, even if it is further. A decent vet is worth their weight in gold. :thumb:
