Update, Evan Stasis again 12/9 Need positive vibes

bunny momma said:
He is still sneezing, and it is sounding like a honking and with less watery discharge than before. The more I think about it, the more I think it is related to his chewing/eating. He was surrounded by hay even during this last stasis episode and he did not sneeze until he actually began eating the hay. I am wondering if a head X-ray to check his teeth roots would be beneficial in the near future. His tooth look good on conscious exam; but we all know that is not always be enough. I am not positive, but I think he stopped sneezing when he got stasis and stopped eating which was before I gave Medicam or any other meds so I do not think the meds caused him to stop sneezing. I know for sure he started sneezing again when he was still getting Medicam so it is unlikely that had any impact on his sneezing episodes,

Evan is such a gentle soul and he is so small so it is hard not to worry.

Tooth roots may be an issue. Does he have a very flat face (Brachycephalic) ? Tooth root problems can be more common in brachycephalic Rabbits.

Being a dwarf bunny his face is flatter than other breeds. He is also very small even for a dwarf so there is not much space between one feature and the next.

Evan is still sneezing. On the plus side, Evan is eating a lot of hay and all his greens. Yesterday I did not give him any sub Q fluids and he drank less than a quarter ounce in 24 hours.

I'm glad to hear he's still eating well, but problem with the sneezing still.

Sending vibes for him. Are you feeling a bit better in yourself now?

Well I am glad that he's eating. Is he maintaining his weight OK ?

Hello Jane,

A couple days after he got past his stasis, he was eating enough hay for a much larger bunny so his weight is good. This morning he got a bunch of hay from my spouse and then he got another bunch from me hours later. Evan may have to join your Lord Herbert at a support group for hayaholics.
His sneezing continues.

Yes, he continues to sneeze. He continues to eat.
I still have discomfort and restrictions and am doing my best to take it slow per my last doctor's visit.
 
I have not heard Evan sneeze for over a day. He stopped sneezing last time when he had the stasis and stopped eating/drinking; then the sneezing started again when he improved and was eating/drinking again.
Perhaps he wore done his teeth a little due to his eating lots of hay; or maybe an allergen in the air is less due to the days and days of rain--or perhaps the rain is adding extra humidity to the indoor air too.

Sending vibes for Evan x
 
Last night he started to sneeze after his daily litter box cleaning and being fed fresh hay and greens. Everything is the same so this is a mystery.

Is his respiratory rate normal- ie not fast and/or laboured, especially when he is lying down .

Hello Jane,

He is breathing normally, even when he is lying down. From what I can see, he does not sneeze when he is resting.
His sneezing sounds a little like a honk.
 
Since my last post Evan stopped, restarted, and stopped sneezing again. I still have not figured out what is causing his allergies. He is such a sweet bunny as is his brother Dash.
If it is an allergy perhaps he is developing some resistance.
 
Could it be due to pollens in the air? It’s a mystery! I hope he stays sneeze free :thumb:
