Oh dear. Giving meds doesnt exactly make you popular does it? I hope Marble makes a speedy recovery and that the others are fine.

Last month I spent 10 days syringe feeding Blackavar every 2 hours, metacam 2x daily & metaclopromide 1x daily. Plus my girls had the same 5 days on metacam 2x daily & something else 2x daily. So that & daily vet trips too meant I was not a welcome sight in their room :roll:

Certainly not! Maizie and Daisy hid from me for at least an hour afterwards! Going to be a month of grumpy bunnies!!

Oh goodness, that sounds like a nightmare!
 
Sending lots of get well vibes for Marble xxxxx

It's hard when you have to upset them with meds. I have to give my 2 black bunnies baytril everyday and they really hate it xxxxx
 
Sorry to hear about marble and good luck with all your medicating! We had to do a 28 day course of panacur with Elmo after twix died and it got progressively harder as he got wise to me me..and then after a couple of weeks he just sort of gave up and let me do it in return for treats :D sure they will forgive you quickly anyway :)

Thanks both.
Marble is taking the meds well, she tries to chew the plastic thing and I just push it in.
Maizie and Daisy are a different story...they will take it with weetabix though :thumb:
 
Good luck with everything I have the same with my bunny Nutmeg at the moment he has finished his panacur but is still on metacam twice a day and antibiotics every other day and he was starting to pick up and move much easier. Unfortunately he has had to go back to the vets this week as he now has an infection in his down facing eye and has lost some fur around the eye so he now has ointment for that too. The ointment has made him disorientated again and he does not like having it put in but hopefully we caught it fast enough 😊

Oh gosh, I hope nutmeg is doing well and makes a full recovery!
Marble and the other 2 are just on panacur at the moment. Only symptom we have is excessive drinking/urinating so hopefully I've picked up on it extra early!!
Vibes and nose rubs for nutmeg, sounds like the poor thing is having a tough time!

I'm hoping we don't get any other symptoms, but I'm watching all 3 girls like a hawk, and checking them over all the time - much to their disgust :oops:

Marble is loving all of these extra nose rubs - she loves attention ;)
They're all fine, meds time isn't as hard as I was expecting, and I'm keeping a close eye on all 3 buns!
 
Just been for Marble's follow up appointment at the Vets. She's finished her 28 day course of Panacur (which turned into a 33 day course :lol: ), all of her symptoms have gone, she's not drinking as much, and not weeing as much, and she didn't present with further signs.
The vet is very pleased with her, and me! She said I must have been very quick at finding it as they never see rabbits before they present with more serious symptoms such as head tilt. She said Marble is in excellent condition, and is obviously very well looked after.

I'm so happy :D:D

So now we're on the hunt for a husbun again (poor Barney :( )!
