hi

Poor Velvet - I thought it was only babies that got that though - has she been treated with panacur for worms? I think they use the sheep strength for bunnies :?

She's not been treated for worms elve no. But would worms make her very listless?
 
hi

worms do mimic stasis and other gut problems - vets seem to think that rabbits don't catch worms - well they do! Worth a try as it can save a bunny's life if it is a severe worm infestation - and a course of panacur won't do any harm - pretty cheap too so I'd definitely try it.
 
phil my hunny,when does it stop for you :cry: sending big bunster hugs and wishes for velvet to make a speedy recovery.x
 
Re: hi

The syptoms Velvet is showing are very simelar to those that Ivy showed so the vet now thinks Ivy did not have VHD but whatever it is Velvet has. We are now supect over Agis death and wether she had whatever this is and then the flys got her her wether it was just the flystrike that killed her. 3 rabbits in three weeks two of which have simelar symptoms and one of which mysteriously goes, is somewhat suspect and i want to get to the bottom of it. If velvet doesn't make it then we will have a PM done at the vet lab instead of the vets as they can do more thouroh(sp) tests.
 
Oh Phil - Poor little Velvet, you must be worried sick and you just don't seem to have much luck recently gal - sending huge hugs and keeping everything crossed for your little girl :wink:
 
So sorry to hear about Velvet - hopefully the vet will find out the cause. Keep your chin up.

Love Jane
