Is pastuerella an emergency?

[idreaminglasscolor]

SO knit has been sneezing and rubbing her nose with her paws a lot today, after closer examination, the inside of her paws are wet and she has a moist nose and i'm fairly confident it's white. Do you think it's pastuerella or something else! Help! My poor knittybitty.

Also my concern is that it's saturday and unless its an emergency, i can't take her till monday...

Just be sure and take her Mon unless she stops eating and/or pooping or has other behavior changes.

Pasturella is one of many strains of bacteria that could cause an upper respiratory infection in a rabbit; Most are very treatable if a potent antibiotic is used

Also, what about Goliath, will he get it?

Good chance he might. Maybe ask your Vet about him and his exposure.

I found this in RO Library.

Can you keep them apart? It sounds like a good idea until the condition is cleared up.

ray: I've been through this (at least similar symptoms) with several bunnies-snuffles is tough. Praying for your bunny!

My rabbit has upper respiratory disease and my vet said, by the time I realized she had it, the other rabbit in the house would have already been infected (it is super contagious). Many rabbits are infected but can fight off the disease with their immune system. Take the wet nosed bunny to the vet for meds, but I wouldn't be too concerned about the other bunny unless he starts showing signs.
