Hello!:wave: Just wondered if anyone can help me really... I used to have two wonderful lionheads, Bonnie Blossom and Perdita (perdi pops to me!!) and they suffered really badly from rhinitis, when it first came about, I thought it was pastuerella, but the vet ruled it out as none of the others had it and then I had 12 other rabbits!! So they both had intensive antibiotic treatment and steam therapy!! but it dogged them and soon as soon as the antibiotics stopped the nose would reblock and they would be sniffing and spluttering!! Then Bonnie went to pieces lost her way completely and the vet found a mass in her belly, at first we thought it could be constipation, so we tried to 'relieve' her and then the mass grew, it was a tumour and sadly she was put to sleep, then a year later Perdy went the same way, lost her condition etc.. and she also was put to sleep. Oh how I cried!! Is this a common ailment with lionheads? or have I just been unlucky, because I would love another one, one day, but dont want my heart broken like that, cos they were such good girls!
