I know I shouldn't look but.... a bun in the adoption part of P@H has been there a while with a note to say he needed special care. I have really tried to avoid going there and thought after our holiday he would surely be re-homed so trotted in to buy cat litter having to go past the adoption section. He was still there so I asked what was wrong with him. The manager said 'nothing' but simultaneously the assistant said 'snuffles'. I challenged the manager that snuffles isn't nothing and then chatted to the assistant who said the bun was actually one of their own 'stock' (horrible word) who became ill so was taken off the shop floor until he was well enough to be re-homed. The assistant told me that a couple who were currently on holiday had expressed interest in him and knew his situation re snuffles. The assistant got him out and he seemed very comfortable with her, I asked to have a look at him and held him whilst she showed a customer where something was and noticed that he had a couple of sores inside his ears and more worryingly that he was dribbling.
Anyway, upshot is a week later the couple still haven't come back, bun is in isolation, has seen the vet and had treatment for his ears and an anti inflamatory to help with his dribbling??? What would an anti-inflamatory do to help dribbling? Can someone please explain, have I missed something? Assistant rang me today to say that bun needs to go back to the vet as the anti -inflamatory hasn't helped.
Can anyone throw any light on why an anti - inflamatory would be used for a dribble problem? The assistant said today that bun has small spurs at the back of his mouth but vet said nothing significant???? I know of the vets they are using and know that they are not rabbit savvy. Don't know what I can or should do to help. I have 22 buns of my own, 13 of them rescue buns and one has dental issues that are managed successfully at the moment so other than that know very little about dental issues.
Any advice welcome :wave:
