LambChop has a brown nose this morning

LambChop and his brown nose.

 

[InspectorMorse]

Could just be due to some dusty hay or if he is too hot.Or it could be the start of a respiratory tract infection. Is he sneezing ? If you check the inner sides of his front paws is the fur wet, stained or sticky ? If so that would indicate that he’s wiping his nose a lot and suggestive of him having a snotty nose due to a RTI.

If he drinks from a water bowl he might have inhaled a bit of water, sneezed it out and the dust has adhered to the damp fur making his nose look dirty.

Check his bum is clean too. Rabbits with a mucky bum can get cecotroph residue on their nose from attempts to clean the poo off themselves.

I hope it's nothing serious. He is a lovely bunny. Did you choose his name?

 

[a reader of books]

Aw, he's a very pretty bun, even with his brown nose.

 

[Lord Trellis]

His bum is clean as far as I can see he has been fine, no sneezing. The sides of his ears are brown too. He has been digging in the compost. He likes to have a good dig so I expect its just from dirt Its gone back to white now. He looked so cute with his brown nose tho I wish I could pick him up and cuddle him but he would bite me if I did that lol.

I choose his name pretty much the day I rescued him because he looked a bit like a baby lamb. He has grown into a nice beautiful bunny.

Oh diggers often get a nose full of soil which makes their nose run a bit for a while. It’s just that it’s more noticeable on white Rabbits

he's a very lovely bunny.

Maybe he just wanted to participate in the nose stripe thread:lol:

 

[Pets mum]

He really is a good looking lad

How did his neuter go?

 

[Lord Trellis]

Thanks everybody for sending vibes. I've been so shattered and exhausted lately I've not updated sooner. LambChop is doing really well, he is running about eating and drinking like nothing ever happened lol I've been keeping a close eye on him just to make sure his stitches are ok. All went well and I'm looking forward to when can start bonding him with one of the other bunnies. I'll probably bond him with Lacey once he is ready.

 

[a reader of books]

Yay, I'm glad he's doing really well! That's really good to hear.

 

[Pets mum]

Glad he's been done, and is doing ok. Well done Lamb Chop !

 

[Zoobec]

I’m glad he is doing well!

LambChop just sank his teeth into my leg. It hurt like hell, I have blood running down my leg now. Sometimes I seriously wonder about him his gets so aggressive. I hate it when he bites.
