Caramel - Healing Vibes Please u/d vid

Hi Floss is much the same. She has no new nodules, but is running a slight temperature again. I posted a picture of her bad eye earlier, but will bump up thepost for you now.
 
He there... been fine all day. Eating and drinking well. Very runny splatty poops though.. think it is the Baytril she was the same when she had the first week of antibiotics. Will update again when I get home from work xxx
 
She is munching (as usual) was I type this... but she is definately mummy's snuffle bun tonight still :roll: And has a bit of a temperature .... keep those vibes coming xxxx
 
Bright and cheeky this morning... nodule still growing... she is having a nap now after chewing the ribbon off my pyjamas lol :lol:
 
A bright, bubbly and fussy girl today! She felt all continental this morning and swiped a danish pastry off OH's plate and had munched half of it before we saw!!!! Can't be feeling that bad!:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Hello.. all well hopefully... We had friends over last night and she was busy socialising and munching. She is still snuffly, still gets a temp and still has a massive and firmly routed nodule on her face. :roll:
 
Hi :wave: glad to hear your bun is doing well.Try not to worry too much about her nose (easier said than done, i know) my bun is recovering from nodular myxi & the whole front of his nose was a big nodule.It resulted in the front of his nose dying & falling off (this is a very rare thing to happen so don't panic!) what i'm trying to say is, Hugo's lost his nose & is still doing fine, so think positive! He was snuffly for weeks but was still eating & behaving normally so i know exactly how you're feeling, it's such a limbo when they are acting ok but still seem so ill.I'm sure your bun is through the worst now, she'll just be getting better from here on in :D
 
That sounds really nasty. Poor bun. Have you a pic of it? Floss lost what I considered to be a huge nodule(but having read about your bun's nose, I realise we've been lucky!) and I was surprised at the depth of the the crater left by the scab.

sounds like my jessie, she has a huge black scab on her nose, that still doesn't appear to want to come off after 5 weeks. i gently try loosening it to help it along!!

it's the snuffly bit that scares me, it sounds so awful and at times it seems like she's stuggling abit. i've noticed you can really see her sides going in and out like she's breathing heavily. i try giving her olbas steam baths but it doesn't seem to do much.

she's definitley abit subdued and right off her pellet food and not pooping a great deal.

would you say after 5 weeks the worst is over?? i still get worried i might lose her:cry:
 
The nodule won't loosen its not having it.... will try to get an updated pic...Poor Princess ... vibes to all other buns suffering at moment xxx
 
C'mon Caramel - I don't think I've ever wanted a forum bun to get better so much! :lol: I have been following her story from day one as she fell ill same time as Monty.
Had to laugh at the pastry stealing! :lol: :lol: :lol: She certainly can't be that ill! :shock: :lol:

Don't pick at her scab, it'll come off when it's ready - Hugo got diagnosed about 7 weeks ago & still has some nodules that are nowhere near ready to come off. I used to bathe Hugo's everyday in a mild saline solution to help keep it clean,the vet said (along with baytril) it helped prevent infection.It also eased his breathing a little as it used to get clogged up with mucus.In my opinion they should be past the worst after 5 weeks but all buns react differently to it, if you're worried, get her checked out by the vet :D

Catswhiskas, how's caramel doing?

what was it that eased the breathing, the bathing with saline or the baytril, as i found baytril to have no effect?

His scab was on the very front of his nose & mucus used to collect behind it, so i gently bathed it in saline to clear the mucus, which eased his breathing.
