Honey Monster
Young Bun
Thought I would post about what's been going on as it might help a bit
Finding it really difficult caring for my ill bunny Honey, some times are easier than others and I love her to bits but sometimes I just think, argh!
Honey has snuffles developed from dental problems, which apart from pain relief my vet can't do anything about, the teeth are really bad.
She's been on baytril, with somewhat limited success, and is now on a course of doxycycline to see if that relieves the symptoms of her sneezing, coughing/general snuffling and to keep her comfortable for as long as she has quality of life. It's also hard to maintain her weight (due to her teeth problems she can't digest all her food properly) which has fluctuated a bit but which seems to have stablised a bit now.
She choked on a piece of grass last night, which was horrible, she was fine though and cleaning herself within a minute, so relieved about that.
The doxycycline seems to have worked quite well (she's had three doses so far, fourth later today) but she has been making that awful cough/choking noise snuffly bunnies seem to do a little today, but big improvement from yesterday
Also have echineacha ordered on its way to see if that helps her at all. Just all feels like a nightmare at the moment, no way of knowing how much longer I have left with her, though my instinct says it's not long My vet says as long as she is not losing a huge amount of weight and still interacting with me etc we can carry on.
Hard times for sure.
