Hopefully the antibiotics will nip this in the bud quickly.
She's sneezing as I type this, poor girl. She's taking the antibiotics pretty well, though, so I think she doesn't hate the taste, at least, which is good. Gross meds are the worst.
I wasn't able to do last week's weekly bunny checkup (I'm having a horrible ME crash after my birthday and am really struggling doing even the simplest things), so I haven't been able to take a close look at her front paws to see if they're clean, but I'll try to check her over as soon as I can. We'll both be glad when we can stop with the antibiotics; she runs away as soon as she knows it's meds time, and I have a big bruise on my leg where she's bitten me more than once!
The vet doesn't know if Cookie has an allergy or an infection
Sophie's been on antibiotics for... 12 days now, I think... She needs until Thursday, 14 days in total. I wouldn't give Cookie extra vitamins. His food should contain all the vitamins he needs, and it's easy to give too many vitamins and make him ill. I do hope you can get a vet to figure out why he's still sneezing, and can get help for him, whatever the cause.I'm so glad to hear that, how many days has Sophie been on antibiotics?
Cookie's sneezing continues but the vet doesn't give us medicine, we only used antibiotics for 5 days. I'm tired now, I'm giving Cookie vitamins, he still has little sneezes. I'm so tired of fighting with the vet now, when I get there, I will go to the vet you found on the first day, I am currently waiting to come to the Netherlands for Cookie's full treatment, because the vet here cannot treat and refuses to do so.
I'm really sorry for the crash, I hope you get well quickly, lots of vibrations xxxxx
Thank you.I'm glad that Sophie is improving
Yeah, she doesn't seem to care that I'm trying to help her. Thank you, too, for caring about both Sophie and me.
I am very pleased.
Thankfully, she doesn't bite me every time. I've learned to move quickly, so that helps. Thank you for being sorry about my crash, too.
Is the vet wrong again?
Well, it depends on what vitamins they are. Some do get flushed from the body when there's too much, but some don't and can cause damage, like too much vitamin A, D, and E, I believe? I'm not sure if too much vitamin C would be bad for bunnies.Really? Does too much vitamins make you sick? The vet again told me the opposite, I asked the vet if it would be harmful if he took too many vitamins, and she told me there would be no harm, and the excess would be removed from the body.
