Mama Doe
I'm wondering where we can go from here? He's strong, and happy and lively, but gets out of breath quickly and has these sneezing and coughing fits, a few small ones and usually a huge one every day.
Last time he saw the vet she put him on Septrim for 2 months and he didn't really improve He's been on a long course of Baytril in the past and that didn't really help either. As well as this he's had a lot of different short courses of antibiotics before this (under a different vet.)
I know realistically he'll have to live with being a snuffly rabbit long term, but I worry about it getting worse and worse, to the point where he can't cope. He's only one, I don't want to just 'give up' on treating him, but his tummy doesn't seem to cope particularly well when on medication.
Does anyone else on RU have snuffle bunnies? What's their life span like? I suppose I'm just after a bit of reassurance, he seems so tired and irritated after he's been sneezing and I wish I could do more for him
