for those of you that havnt seen it this is my other thread i started- http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=20226
basically my stupid sister bought a rabbit from a very bad pet shop on wednesday. she doesnt have a clue about rabbits and so ended up ringing me about 20 times asking all sorts of questions. from what she was telling me i told her he sounded sick and to get him to the vets. now she supposedly made an appointment for yesterday for him, but whether she did or not doesnt matter because she didnt take him anyway!(she went to get her hair cut instead :evil: )
she went away last night and wont be back until tuesday, and has said one of the neighbours is going to feed and water him. i went to check on him today and he is in a right state. i changed his whole cage as she still had him on sawdust even though i told her to get him off it. he had no water :evil: and sat and drank for 10 minutes when i offered it to him out of a new working bottle :evil:
anyway, he looks very sick. he is very skinny and sneezed 58 times in a row he sneezed well over a hundred times in the hour and a half that we were there. he is also wheezing quite bad. after each sneezing fit he was flopping down exhausted and breathing quite heavily. he had gunk all over his poor little nose too. can anyone tell me what this sounds like? and what would be needed to treat it?
if it is snuffles, what are the chances of my bunnies getting it if he was eventually given to me? it doesnt look like he will be going to the vets until atleast tuesday now as i really cant afford to bring him myself will he just keep getting worse? i feel so guilty about leaving him there
