Luna has been sneezing // update 31st

oh poor girlie, just caught this thread. really hope the xrays find the cause of her sneezing, and its easily treatable. sending lots of Luna vibes xxx

I hope that the xrays reveal something easily fixable xx

I too hope its something easily fixable.

thank you all [emoji3059] I really hope so too

just as an incase I’m looking to purchase more panels for the pen theyre in (along with a door). that way if it is something more sinister I can seperate her from Orion if need be. he’s a piggy and will steal anything of her... [emoji849]

it will also come in handy for other situations (like stasis), and to keep an eye on her after the anaesthesia. poor girl takes so long to come around, is wobbling and all over the shop for hours. meanwhile orion takes her critical care, throws her heat pad, and bounces on her [emoji38][emoji28]

I hope that all will go well for her next Thursday and that the Xrays will give some answers x

thank you Jane x

x-rays are tomorrow, to say I'm nervous is to say the least I have a sense of dread over me. I know she will be okay, I trust my vet (and the team as a whole) with her fully, they have gone above and beyond for her (and me), and I can't thank them enough. even so, anaesthetic is rather scary, and even scarier is what the results may show. ideal situation is a deep sinus infection, worse case is her teeth or it showing nothing - we're back to square one then having no idea what it is.

its gonna cost between 250-350 for the x-rays, however the cost is the least of my concerns, I just want her to be okay. I'll be able to claim on insurance, and I have a savings account just for them. they'll x-ray her chest too for peace of mind, so I hope that doesn't show any problems with her heart or lungs either.

Good luck for tomorrow, hope everything goes ok xxx

Sending lots of vibes and hugs for tomorrow xx

Hope all goes well for Luna today xx

thank you all dropped her off and went to go pick up a nice soft cat bed for her when she returns, and a few small toys as a sorry to Orion :lol: I can call around 1:30 to see how she is..house feels quite empty without them

they're also going to check her teeth and file any spurs - not that we have any concerns but since you can't fully check when they're awake, we're taking the opportunity to double check.

GOOD NEWS!

no roots (or teeth) are growing into her jaw from what can be seen & her sinuses are clear.

she did however have the beginnings of some spurs on her very back teeth. she also had some food stuck around her tooth and in/on her gums which as caused a minor infection.. my vet has cleaned it as much as possible but she wondered if somehow that caused the sneezing. she's quite stumped tbh as there's no obvious issues with her sinuses or nose area at all. she can only theorise the food was pressing into her gums causing discomfort and therefore sneezing, maybe she was trying to dislodge it? my vet is quite confused honestly. so she'll be on antibiotics.

somehow she's fractured a tooth?! different one to the food impaction but my vet has tried to fix it as best as she can.

I imagine she's going to be a bit sore in the mouth today, so I'll be watching her closely.

he fought the anaesthetic the entire time however, taking ages to go under and even woke up just ever so slightly. she's only just coming around bless her, but as usual she takes such a long time to fully come around. I imagine I'll be separating her from Orion so that she can get some rest and critical care (or chunky boy is gonna take it all). she's an awkward sod ofc :lol::lol:

so we'll have to see how things go - my vet is quite stumped and can only hope/think its a combination of the food impaction and the fractured tooth. if it doesn't work we'll have to go back and see what else we can try. I'm really hoping this gets the poor girl on the mend :s

gotta call back in an hour to see how she is and when I can collect. I want my rabbit back!

That's a relief for you and hope Luna recovers well.xx

That all sounds positive, maybe it was just the combination of the tooth pressing on a nerve, hope so anyway. She'll soon be home bless her xx

I’m glad it wasn’t anything serious, fingers crossed she is home soon xx

I am glad she came through the procedure OK. Dont forget to ask for Metacam for her as well as the antibiotics. Sending vibes for a speedy recovery xx

:lol: shes taking after Nanny Jane!!

less good news: she's really not handling coming out of the anaesthesia well she's refusing to eat, very groggy, and wobbly. they won't let her come home until they close at 6. I am so worried about her. she never handles coming out of anaesthesia well and is usually very groggy for hours and hours. my friend who runs a rescue has never seen anything like her. shes quite special. snoopy & orion have always been almost back to normal within the hour or two, perhaps a little quiet but she is something else.

I hope she is doing better soon xx

Did they give her fluid therapy after the GA ? This is now standard practice at my Vet's Surgery and it can certainly help speed up recovery.
