The above is the conversation I have w/ another caring rabbit owner. The question is, now that the bun is fully cured, how do we get her to gain back the weight?
a person found a stray bun near the pond when the bun is at the age of 1, now 5 yr. old. Saw the bun in that wild area for over 1 mth., and decide to save her.
Then last yr., She was very sick with a lung infection, the same bacteria also caused bladder infection. it took months to fight the infection and 4 different antibiotics. But she lost a lot of weight and has some GI issues from all the medicine she had to take.
The vet could not even examine her, she was open mouth breathing and hyper ventilating. The Dr quickly gave her medicine to claim her down said she was in a lot of pain. The lung infection was very bad, you could see it on the x-ray.
The vet said in her 30 yr. of practice, it's rare a bun fully recovered from this. She is fully cured now
When I pet her, you can feel all the bones in her back. She just can't seem to gain her weight back since she was sick. I have her on the oxbow regular adult food pellets and free feed now cuz she's way too skinny.
