Can anyone tell me if a rabbit is showing signs of this - in that their eyes are slightly swollen and emitting a discharge - how long until they will go down hill and you know for sure that it is Mixi?
My friends rabbits had these signs on Wed. night, she took them to the vet Thurs morning and he said that he wasn't definite it was Mixi and prescribed antibiotics. This morning she says that they seem a bit brighter but their eyes are still swollen (although no discharge) and their genitals are swollen too (which they were yesterday).
We're hoping that they've got an eye infection although she did rabbit sit for three weeks and that rabbit has been diagnosed as 99% sure it has Mixi. They didn't share a hutch and didn't come into direct contact with each other though.
We just want to know how soon we would know for definite whether it is Mixi as it's a horrible waiting game at the moment.
Thank you.
