Looks like Paddy has snuffles

Paddy had a white discharge coming out of one nostril today, thick and white like . When he breathes it sounds like he is chuffing through his nose like someone with a cold might. I have had a rabbit that suffered from a milder form before. So needless to say Paddy is going to the vet. he has had a seizure in the past, anyone know if there is a link between seizures and snuffles?

Also what are the best abx to get for him? The previous bunny was given baytril but is there something better?
 
Thanks, he is in the early stages, no discharge present so culture was not possible. I have to take him back if he has discharge again but in the meantime he got a baytril shot and oral baytril and Biosolvon to go home with. Its a week's worth so hopefully it will clear up. Its upper respiratory and he is producing excess caceals as a result as well, so in general his immune system is a bit iffy. He is still eating like a cheery maniac though which is a good sign.
 
Did the Vet check his teeth ? Some Dental problems can present as Snuffles like symptoms and 'not eating cecals'

Sending vibes for him xx
 
Is he on any metacam? I found it helped with the breathing, and of course made poor bunny feel a bit better. It being an anti-inflammatory helps.

I also found that any antibiotics needed to be taken for a lot more than the usual 5-7 days. My buns always get Septrin.

Remember too, the culture needs to be done when they are off antibiotics :wave:

Hope he feels better soon.
