Is your rabbit a lionhead by any chance ? my lion lop when shedding would shed off most his mane down to the skin. The hair would not grow back for months. Also no mites or anything. I read that it is common with Lionheads and lion mix.
Test results came back ! yup we are positive for coccidia ! Dr kim said that there are eggs in the fecal sample. I need to hop by over to clinic to get 1 extra meds. I will update what the name is later !
No words from vet yet. I know they test in house lab.. and they were super busy yesterday. I will give them a little more time and I'll call them if I dont hear back. I'm so curious as well for the results
I think I jinxed myself.... right after the strange shaped poo... the mushy poo came back. I was able to collect a sample and bring to the vet. I guess now it's a waiting game to see the result.
Hes been on the meds for 2 and a half day.... I have not been able to collect any of the mushy poo. which is good and bad since I cant confirm if he does in fact have coccidia.
But today I notice his poop look like this.... not quite as round and also pretty moist ... is this normal ?
Hi CathyO, I mentioned the losing weight to the vet... she said that I dont need to worry about Brownie since he still have lots of muscle and is not wasted away. She feels that at the moment if I up his pallets he should start gaining the weight. She told me to keep a close eye on him ...
I took her to a small animal vet last night. The Vet suspect coccidia and now brownie is on antibiotic. He is active, eating and drinking well so the vet was happy about that. Today I will bring back a fecal sample and they will test for parasites etc. Thank you for your reply !
