    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

New year and still can't catch a break

Yesterday evening I took Quinn out of his house to bring him in for nebulising and off-handedly checked his bottom. Nice and clean, but I got an unexpected shock- swollen genitals.

Alarm bells for a lot of you, I'm sure.

I took him to the vets first thing this morning and after a thorough check-up that's the only symptom he has (oedema of the outer genitals). Best case scenario he's bashed it but she can't rule out myxi. He's on anti-inflammatories and if no change/more symptoms he'll have to go back on Monday. (Yes, he is vaccinated)

So, currently on myxi watch :cry:
 
Not recently, no. I'd have to double check his vaccine card.

- Edit- it was last June.

I asked as rarely an individual Rabbit can have an adverse reaction to the Vaccine and develop mild symptoms of Myxo. Obviously that’s not the case though xx
 
Morning nebulising and a quick check- eyes and nose clear, swelling reduced. Not quite back to normal yet but much more so than yesterday :)
