The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Poorly Boy

Young Bun
:( Hi I have a poorly baby well not really a baby he's 3 now - he's a giant bunny papillion x continental called Ringo. Totally pampered he's a house rabbit pops out to the toilet but mostly indoors with us.
I took him to the vets on wednesday high temp very noisy breathing and very wet nose, the vet thinks he may have myxc but he wasn't certain- his private parts aren't swollen and his eyes are bright not sore, I would say he looked poorly last saturday thinking about it laying around more than usual, my eldest has just been stroking him and he has lumps on his back. What do you guys think. Im praying its not myxc as I had 2 others years ago who had that I lost one but got one through it - was the most heart breaking thing I've gone through.
 
Yep he's eating making sure he has a good variety of food fresh vedg as well as staple foods. Ignorant question do they not get high temp with snuffles?

Less frequently than with Myxi, but they do sometimes. Usually when the infection is also on the lungs. Hopefully it is not Myxi. When was he vaccinated and was it the single vaccine or the new combination vaccine ?
 
6 months ago - not sure which vaccine they gave him. Guess its a case of watch this space and hope its not. He is such an amazing little character he loves everyone sad seeing him poorly. He seems happy being cuddled and spending time with us next few days will show more I guess :?
