Wise Old Thumper
Mr Thumps is going to have to go to the vets as he has been sneezing and had a discharge from his nose, I have been giving him baytril for the last 5 days and hasn't cleared it and his eye as started weeping now.
My poor baby Thumps.

Now Mr Thumps dont go worrying your Mum!! Hope everything goes OK at the Vets. GAWD the worry a poorly bun can generate can age you 10 years in 10 minutes!! :roll: :roll: Can we have a progress report later please......?? Jane and Bunsxx
 
My Vet isn't on until Wednesday so I am going then, but I was wondering if I should give him some penicilin as I have got that in as I have another bun I have to inject it with (oooh I don't know what to do,)
Should I or Shouldn't I
 
I'd check with the 'on duty vet' first as you might find that you will no longer be permitted to have injectable meds at home if you inject a bun for whom the drug was not prescribed. You are no doubt right that Mr T needs penicillin but to keep it 'legal' and to ensure your vets continue to allow you to give injections I'd give the vets a call. Jane and Bunsxx
 
Well Mr thumps as got a temp of 103 and as been put on 4mls of seprtim twice a day for 5 days if this doesn't show any improvement then we are on Penicillin, He as got snuffles but she thinks because of me putting him on baytril straight away we may have combatted it early enough.
 
fingers crossed that his temp comes down soon but its good to know that your quick action might have helped.

best wishes to mr thumps and i hope is back to his usual self soon.
 
You wouldn't actually think their was anything wrong with him apart from is snotty nose and eye being the cheeky little boy that he is.
 
Awww his temp is NORMAL!! Buns temperature range is 101.3-104F !! Glad he is still being a cheeky big chappie and hopefully all the nasty bugs will be zapped by the Septrin!! Jane and Bunsxx
