Hi,
I’m hoping for a bit of advice. We are in the process of adopting a female bun to bond with our little boy (both neutered!). The shelter completed a health check after we reserved her and it was found that she had e cuniculi. She has a very slight head tilt as a result which hasn’t been noticed until the health check but that seems to be the only sign of it. She is currently on Panacur for 28 days at the shelter and will receive another health check before we can pick her up.
I think I’m really worried about bonding her with our boy. I’m going to get some Panacur to give him as a preventative but it’s more if they bond and then it gets worse and she dies then it will be really stressful for our boy and sad for us. And I’m also concerned that as it’s an existing condition, we won’t be able to get it insured and I keep worrying maybe she needs to be with someone that has the money to pay potentially huge vets bills. The shelter said that it shouldn’t get worse but I can’t help but worry. Is it something that will be recurring throughout her life or if it was caught early enough will that be it?
I think it would just be helpful to hear from people who have had experience from this so that I have a better idea of what it will mean to be her bunny mummy. I really want to give her a loving home and I think she and our boy will make a great match but I want to be sure we can give her the home she needs with regards to her e cuniculi.
I’ve been reading so much about it online but keep finding different information
