Hi everyone! It's been a long long time since I posted, and the last time I did it was in regards to a similar issue, a sneezing bunny. I will spare you all the details of my bunny's life, but it featured snuffles and worst case scenario news repeatedly. She was a fighter, and we were...

Hi again everyone! I want to give an update on Sweet Marie's status since her X-ray procedure. Her results showed no damage, which is fortunate but it also means we have done the right thing getting her on antibiotics as soon as we noticed a flair up. After the procedure she was pretty cranky...

As of right now she's only on the azithro, her cultures are expected back in the next few days and once the vet knows if there is another bacterial infection, or if it is still only the pasturella she will be assigning a secondary antibiotic. She had mentioned an injectable penicillin, but...

Marie went through her procedure just fine, although she was pretty cranky for the rest of the night. Her x-rays came in clear and I'm waiting on her cultures from the lab to see if we're not jut dealing with the pasturella bacteria. My vet put her back on the azithro and pending the results...

Thank you so much for your response Angieluv, I am going to forward this information to my vet directly too. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the advice in regard to her treatment. She is not at all an unhappy rabbit, and she eats and drinks normally (actually she's recently...

Definitely sounds like this could be heat related. Keep them inside for a while and see if it gets better. If it is still an issue, or if you hear them sneeze, take them to the vets. It could be a sinus infection and they may need antibiotics. A lot of rabbits have come into contact, or are...

I have a 2 year old mini-rex female that was rescued around the 6 month old range... She was suffering from a major upper respiratory infection that turned out to be caused by the pasturella bacteria. We put her on Baytril, and now we use Azithromycin to treat her flare ups, but I know she'll...

Really good job posting all the information. I'm not a vet, but I do have a rabbit rescue and have dealt with many strange cases, especially in the rabbits I have adopted I am always learning more. I hope I can apply some of my experiences to your case. The first thing I would do is get...

I hope your bunny is feeling alright still, if you haven't noticed symptoms in the first 12 hours you should be in the clear, but I'd keep a watch on your bunny for a couple of days anyway. Make sure she eats and drinks well to help pass it through her system. One of my rabbits just ate...

Your poor bunny looks like he's in a lot of discomfort. The open sore needs to be cleaned often so it doesn't develop an abscess. I just use a warm saline solution in a syringe to wash over the wound. If he gets an infection at this age, it is likely to become very serious right away. His...

Hi Mongoo The Azithromycin I give Sweet Marie is liquid, which I prefer, its a lot easier to give her. Its made by Sandoz. Here's a link to the information on it: http://www.sandoz.ca/assets/content/en/leaflets/AZITHROMYCIN_PI_EN_112006.pdf Sweet Marie had some troubles with the...

I hope this doesn't come too late to be helpful to you. If you think your bunny has pasturella or snuffles you may want to avoid Baytril I took in a pregnant mother with very severe pasturella symptoms and was able to save her and keep her babies from harm by using a paediatric drug called...

I rescued a mini rex 2 years ago with bad enough snuffles that she was going to be euthanized. We started her on a Baytril regiment and it gave her similar results, but temporary. I began giving her real fruit juice to supplement some of the nutrients lost with her soft stools but her problem...

Thank you so much for your response, In the moment when he died we were eager to just have him laid to rest and ordered a creamation and turned down the opportunity to have the necropsy done. Now I wish we had him analyzed to find out what caused this, just for my own peace of mind. I...

I miss my bunny Reese so much please help me get something out of the loss of him. He had such a short little life but he was my little baby.

Please someone, I need help diagnosing what happened to my bunny, I have many others and I really don't want to loose them too because of some preventable (if it is preventable) cause. One of my rabbits, Reese, passed away this morning after about 36 hours of lethargy. He was 1 year and 15...
