Thank you.
This is where having so many closely related bunnies becomes a nightmare.
Angel is following Sky's pattern. A few months of breathing issues that appeared to link to pain (arthritis/teeth). Then appearing to develop allergy symptoms. Next comes the crisis (is this where we are now?) and then the stabilisation before more symptoms appear- namely bulging eyes.
I believe there is a genetic link for thymoma and that was one of only two options for Sky (the other being lymphoma).
Over the life of Angel and his siblings they have developed dental problems at similar ages, gained extra spots at the same age (eighteen months and three years), had a cluster develop dental abscesses all within about three months and at the end of last year, five if seven were diagnosed with arthritis (four in the right hip/knee and one in the left knee- and there is another looking the same so that would be six of seven).
So what does this bring? I said to my vet last week that within eighteen months my rabbit situation would be very different but I didn't want to think it would start so soon. This is so much more bigger than Angel and Sky- this is about the other six of them too.
The feeling if impending doom has arrived.
