Yuki's problem hasn't been officially diagnosed yet and it's making me crazy! All the signs point to his teeth. He has serious dental issues. Sometimes he gets spurs 1 or 2 weeks apart! But the vet at the exotic animal clinic checked his teeth thoroughly on Thursday and said there were no spurs or other problems. But I'm thinking it could be something that can't be seen with the naked eye. Then the vet yesterday told me he had a mild strain of Snuffles. A rabbit expert online told me that the dark green discharge sounded more like Pseudomonas than Pasteurella. I think he has a foreign object up his nose, in his left nostril since that's where it's always coming from. Probably a strand of hay because the discharge is the same colour as hay. Or it's related to his teeth somehow.
The reason I'm so sure it's his teeth is because of the way he makes chewing motions with his mouth, the constant noises he makes with his teeth, (mostly clicking noises and it's not just purring), and the fact he eats vegetables but not pellets. The only illness I came up with in my research are in fact teeth problems, and this is exactly how I found out he had dental issues about 3 years back.
He has a bit of clear discharge in his nose sometimes, not running out really, just around his nostrils. I'm thinking of getting a radiograph done, but I'm afraid it will cost too much. I have already spent hundreds of dollars in the last 3 days, and I really have very little money left. But I want this problem diagnosed and taken care of now. I just can't stand seeing my baby so sick.
