Hello,
My 10 year old rabbit is booked into the Vets on Friday to have a Nasal endoscopy, X-rays and Swab.
He has a bit of a runny nose, - clear runny but has some discharge up one nostril only and this has not changed.
He sneezes; petite sneezes and then sometimes more gruffer sneezes.
Other than this, he is very happy and eating and drinking etc fine.
He is having this procedure done by one of the best rabbit Vets mentioned on here who sounds very confident about the procedure and tells me they do it often there on older bunnys. Apparently there isn't a less invasive way to find out what is causing the runny nose and sneezing.
I am not the slightest bit keen on my rabbit having an anesthetic.
I am also worried as he had Gut Stasis this time last year.
I can not stress enough how worried I am and how I am completely undecided about what I should do for the best. I am hoping that it turns out to be something simple, like something stuck. I'm worrying about the procedure itself never-mind the findings.
He's happy and I don't want to upset him or risk anything. I have been thinking about it a whole week and still am unsure.
Has anyone had any experience with this procedure in older bunnys?
Thank you.
