Noisy Breathing....

Hi all :wave:

I have been having issues with pepper...again !

She seems to have started weird breathing ? It sounds as though she has a cold ?! Im quite worried about her, she sometimes sneezes a lot aswell. We did take her to the vet who couldn't hear anything ! as she doesn't do it when we take her to the vets :roll: & she only seems to do it sometimes, her breathing isn't noisy all the time. The vet put her on baytril, there wasn't much improvement if any.

We seen a different vet the 2nd time who advised penicillin injections ?? she has had these before but this was when she had an ear abscess, im reluctant to start injecting her with penicillin again when no one can tell me what is actually wrong with her, surely if this was an infection she would have noisy breathing all the time ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also any good rabbit savvy vets in the Lanarkshire area ??? :thumb:

sorry for the rambled post folks.

I would begin another thread with "Rabbit Savvy vet needed" in your area.
You will get more response that way.

Personally I would want more of a diagnosis and plan of action than randomly giving antibiotics. Penicillin is all well and good, when it's indicated ... It may be worth getting a 'good' second (third?) opinion.

Good luck xx
 
Thanks :thumb:

I am not happy with the treatment she has been receiving recently since her usual vet left the practice :(
Feel as if im not doing my best by her...
