I've just been out to see the bunnies and Ruby doesn't seem quite right. Her eye is wet again (had a problem with inflamed ducts a few months back) and she is holding the ear on that side down a bit. She also doesn't seem her usual self. She is grumpy on warm days but it's not that warm today so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have given her some grass and she has eaten it but she feels like she is getting a bit boney again (she goes like this every so often, she eats a bit less, goes boney and then eats more again and fattens up, it happens every 6 months or so). She also seemed a bit shakey on her legs could the ear being held down be a sign of anything wrong? It's not completely down just a little bit but she usually holds them completely upright.
With a toddler and a 3 week old baby I haven't been able to give the rabbits as much attention as I would like lately. They have been fed daily and checked over - Bertie has ec so I check his eye regularly to make sure it hasn't got worse which would require another vet trip. But I haven't actually handled the bunnies for 3 weeks now (baby who requires almost constant feeding making this difficult). I really
Hope she is not poorly, I'll have to wait for my husband to come home and once my son has gone to bed we had better bring her in and give her a check over.
Both bunnies were treated with lapizole 28 day course as soon as I found out about Bertie's ec, the course finished at the end of April. I am really worried she could still get ec from him, is this a risk?
