Argh! Just done the daily bum checks.. and noticed that Polos nose was looking a funny colour, so i had a good look, and she does have a little bit of a runny nose, a sort of clear colour with a hint of green from both nostrils. And Oscar too has a little bit or a runny nose, although his looks quite clear. I feel another trip to the vets coming.

They have no other symptoms... they are not acting any different, still very very lively, eating LOADS and pooing LOADS... i have had my ear on Polos chest and i couldnt hear anything unusual, except her grunting...

I am so worried about them all ... i now have 3/4 buns poorly... can someone please advise... :cry: :cry:
 
Hiya
Have you used a different hay recently - it might be a bit dustier than usual? If not, then I suppose a vets trip will put your mind at ease for the weekend which is when these things tend to get worse!
 
Do you feed the Readigrass? That can stain clear mucus. Some Rabbits get a slightly moist nose in hot weather. Then the Readigrass stains the damp area.
To be on the safe side I'd ask your Vet to check them over

Hello, and thanks for the advice :). Polos nose had got worse since this morning, she has a yellowy/green discharge from her nose, which was sticking to the fur around her nose. They have both been to the vets, are their breathing was checked which was fine... otherwise very healthy. They have been given a baytril injection each, followed by an anti-inflammatory, as well as this, they have both been given a 10-day course of baytril and a 5 day course of a pro-biotic to start tomorrow.

Oscar previously had a runny nose which obviously hadnt cleared up which i now think he has passed to Polo, hence the now longer course of Baytril. Fingers crossed it doesnt return!

Oh and i forgot to mention that i hadnt changed the hay and i dont feed them readigrass. They get the dustfreehay.co.uk hay. Thanks again...
