Poppy injection question

poppy180

Warren Scout
hi guys :wave:

Poppy is going to get injected tomorrow, on the advice of the vet to aviod problem that Bugsy had.

He died of a heart attack, :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: but was v ill the 2 days before, after first being told it was underweight and just needed feeding up , to : him having a gut/bacterial problem and septercemia (sp!) :shock: :shock:

i asked if there was a risk poppy could get this, and he said yes, but cant tell as its a bacteria that is inside every rabbit and if conditions are right, will grow and poison the bunny.

i asked if i can avoid this with poppy and he is giving her an injection 2morrow that is not normally 4 bunnies, but for sheep :? :?

is this right? has anyone heard of it? Tree, if you are on here could you tell me a better more knowledgeable bunny vet by us to go to?

shes booked in for 6.40pm will get them to write the injection on her card so i know


link to bugsys help thread if this helps

any ideas??
 
I think you need to ask:

1-What EXACTLY is the injection

2- What EXACTLY is the 'gut bacteria'

3-How can Vet be CERTAIN that Bugsy had Septicaemia and what caused it unless a PM was done

Personally I would consult a Rabbit Specialist

Good luck and I hope Poppy remains well

Hi,

I really love my vets but I think they are a bit far from you.

Powis & Partners in Amblecote. Maybe Tree's would be a lot closer to you?

She is off work today and tomorrow but she will reply to you on Wednesday :thumb:
