Hope she is a little brighter now following the vet visit.

Continuing to send all good vibes xx

Wee honey, hope she picks up again soon.

Thanks guys. Typically, she'd perked up and eaten all her pellets and forage by the time we left for the vet. The vet thinks it's just the strain of fighting the myxi for a week and a half. I can up her Metacam dose and give some probiotics.

Maybe she has some nodules in her mouth ?

Wish I'd seen that before I left! Is that possible? I could try soaking some pellets. Actually, the last few pellets were soft, as I put them in the bowl with the wet fresh forage while I was sweeping and she scoffed the lot. Josie could usually win awards for her hay eating, so it makes sense that her mouth could feel sore.

Bless her, will keep fingers crossed for a speedy and full recovery

Glad she has taken some food Helen, they have a habit of perking up just before the vet visit don't they? I think you may have to threaten her with the vet more regularly

Hope you are OK :wave:

mouths are often very sore with myxi - the nodules form along the lips and sometimes even in the mouth.

Really sorry she's had a set back but hopefully it's just a temporary one...

Sending vibes.... :wave:

Josie was back at the vets yesterday. Her eye is worse It seems there's a nodule inside her eye. The eye itself is now swollen, with a white cloudy bit and blood. She has eye drops, but I think she's completely blind in that eye and may lose it. The vet said it may burst, but she's not well enough to have it removed, so we just have to wait and see.

She'd finished the Baytril, so she's now on a course of Septrin. She's been choosing new areas in her pen to use as litter areas, I guess that's a combination of not being able to smell and see properly to find her litter tray. She's still eating, drinking, pooing and weeing properly, but it helps if I put the food right under her mouth.

And this is 'mild' myxi in a vaccinated bun She only has three large nodules and a few smaller ones under her fur. Her breathing and lungs are luckily still fine. She's still on Metacam twice a day and probiotics. She's still fighting.

Bless her. I highly recommend celluvisc for her eyes. It is very 'pure' and a fantastic soothing lubricant which can be used several times a day. You can buy it OTC from pharmacies and I really would give the Vet a call to see if she is happy for Josie to have them

Thanks. She's on Fucithalmic twice a day. Would you use the Celluvisc as well as the Fucithalmic or instead of?

Strange that she doesn't have the classic myxi swelling around the eyes. I haven't heard of myxi affecting the eyeball in this way, but the vet has seen it before.

You use it aswell as Fucithlmic if the Vet gives the OK

Thanks. I've left a message with the nurse to ask the vet when he's free.

Here's a little video of Josie today, bouncing about and grooming my foot! :shock::lol:



And some pics...

Good eye

Bad eye

Flopped under the dining table. (There's a Snugglesafe under the orange flower thing)

She's a lot brighter today Hopefully the Septrin and eye drops are helping already. Yesterday she was hiding in her tunnel looking very sad and scared.

 

[*lily*]

Awww bless her.

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery for her xxx

The vet is happy for me to try it I've bought the only one the chemist had, the 1% stuff. Comes in 30 single use containers, does that sound right? How often can I use it?

 

[Barn Yard Bunnies]

Such a gorgeous girl. Hope her eye clears up very soon. xxx

 

[Roseberry]

you must have a very clean foot after that :lol:

she is so gorgeous! she seems to be enjoying being inside!
