First off, Drizzle (2.5 years old, 3.75 lb, neutered [08.05]Nethie Mix):
I've noticed Drizzle's poops have been noticeably smaller as well as varied insize. They can be anywhere from his normal size for a 3.75 lb bunny to as big as a pepper grain (before it's crushed), so not very big at all. I'm trying to figure out if it's from stress from having Hazel in the same room? She's been there for a week now. Or, if it's from putting him in a new cage set up or stress from both? He's active when he's out of his cage, friendly/snuggly. I can't tell if he's straining to go to the bathroom. I've been pushing hay and gave him a belly rub last night. Is there anything else I can do here before I should take him to the vet? I know people have dealt with this before so I thought I'd check here first.
Next Hazel (1 year old, 3.02 lb, spayed [12.07]Dutch dwarf):
Hazel makes a lot of noises from her nose. When she's sleeping she sounds like a squeeze toy. She doesn't seem like she's struggling to breathe and I listened to her lungs and they sound clear to me. Her nose is a little wet but there is no colored discharge. I figure it could be wet because the weather is cold here and I also cleaned the bunny room a few days ago and there was a lot of hay dust. In general though, she does have a slight nose whistle. Could that be a problem?
And finally Latte (1.5 years old, 4.75 lb, neutered [11.06] Polish mix):
As some of you know, Latte had a severe inner ear and upper res infection right after I adopted him in Dec. 06. After nursing him back to health, he is feisty and his tilt is only slightly visible when he's tired. However, recently I seem to be noticing it more often. It hasn't gotten worse however. I think I just keep getting a look at him when he's tired. He doesn't hop in a diagonal line, he runs straight, jumps over objects fine. Can the cold affect his slight head tilt at all? He did sneeze a little the other day, but as I mentioned in Hazel's problems, I did clean a lot of dust. His nose has no discharge. And I recall my vet saying that his sinuses were damaged from the infection (some of the bones in the sinuses had little fractures) so that he could sneeze more often.
I swear, why can't they be sick one at a time instead of ALL at once?
