A couple of weeks ago I came home to find Michelle laid out against the wall in the bunny room breathing very quickly. When I picked her up she was all floppy and she weed all over me. My OH said she'd be fine but I was straight on the phone to the vet who said to bring her in straight away.
The vet diagnosed pneumonia and put her on IV fluids and IV Baytril. She stayed at the vet for 2 nights. Now she is right as rain and has been separated from her 2 friends (I suspect stress was the cause of her illness as she used to get chased a lot) and she seems much happier.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a bun with pneumonia as I didn't think a bun would make such a good recovery as Shelly has. Misdiagnosed perhaps? Or correct treatment in the nick of time?
I wonder because if it was something like snuffles I can expect a recurrence but pneumonia isn't likely to recur is it?
