Jack and Scampie

thanks everyone for you advice about jack sneezing

Im taking him to the vets wednesday morning as im certain it is pasteurella.

Scampie is also going to the vets as when i picked him up this evening i felt something so i looked through his fur and he has 2 funny looking scratches/scars on his back, which i think were from when he had a fight with fudge and leo at the weekend. They dont look infected, but ive never seen a bunny scab so im taking him in on weds as well, just to make sure as it looks yukkie - there's no puss, it just looks funny and white.

Got an appointment at 9.10am wed morning - Fingers crossed they will be ok - il update you when i know anything

Vets

Hi ya!

they were fine at the vets, scampie's scratches are healing well and i have been given baytrill to give to jack as was a bit snuffly - so the vet said!! He said he should be fine in 5days or so and i have to syringe feed him his meds, so think of me at about 10 tonight trying to give jack his medication :lol: :lol:
 
medicine

jack hates his medicine, he is so funny!!!

the first time was funny as he kept jerking his head so i had to hold his head whilst my bf held on to his body and then i shot the medicine into his mouth.
He doesn't like it at all :lol: after he will sit there and shake his head and go mad licking his lips, he hates it the poor thing.

Im off to go and do that now!!!
 
oh gosh sounds like you are having fun, my bugie has been poorly and has been on Baytril, at first he wasn't drinking bt he must have realised that it was making him better so then there was no stopping him he was more or less plunging his head into it and he was ver perky this morning :D :D
