Hi all, :wave:
Just wondered if I could pick your brains for a bit of advice.
My little Lilly seems to be breathing faster than normal and I'm not sure if that is right. She seems to breath twice as fast as Bella.
Lilly and Bella are now 3 and half years old so i don't know if age makes a difference - I would have thought their breathing would get slower if anything?
She is eating, drinking, pooping, peeing and playing fine so seems to be OK in general - In fact no different to her normal cheeky self.
When she is resting, the breathing slows a bit but she sort of rocks with her breathing if that makes sense?
I took her to the vets on Tuesday last week and my usual rabbit savvy vet wasn't there. The lady I saw said her heart and chest sounded fine but she did think her head sounded a bit stuffy? So she gave me some Baytrill to give Lilly twice a day. This ran out on Sunday. Lilly has shown no change and the vet said that if there is no change, to take her back in for chest x-rays (even though her chest sounds fine?) - but I am a bit worried about her being anesthetised if it is not necessary? :?
Have any of you experienced this and if so what do you think I should do? I know its a really difficult question to answer without seeing her but any advice you can give would be great?
Thank you so much for your help.
