Alice's mum
Warren Scout
My rabbit Alice (approx age 8 maybe 9) has been having problems with noisy breathing for a few months which I have been back and forward to the vets about. Finally after x-rays yesterday we discovered she has an enlarged heart which has lead to fluid on the lungs and an infection. I also asked them to x-ray her back right foot as I felt she was not walking right and she has some arthritis there too. She is eating and pooing fine and is taking her anit0biotics and heart tablet okay so far (hiding the tablet in a raisin!).
She is now of course a house rabbit (as has been cast aside by my other two anyway - I suspect they knew she was ill).
Has anyone with experience of rabbits with heart problems got a time scale of how long she will live? I'm not an idiot, I know this is just management and cannot be cured but I'd like to know how long they can live after diagnosis.
Thank you. x
