My rabbit sounds congested (RESOLVED)

[patomaha]

This morning my Rex sounds "wet" with gurgly noises in his throat and chest. He makes the noise whenever he's moving around -- kind of like a child with a cold. Are there any drope, powder or medications that I can give him until I can get him to the vet tomorrow?

best to call the vet answering service .............

How's he doing?

 

[patomaha]

He is doing fine but still that sound is there so I will take him to the vet today and see what the doctor has to say. Thank you for your support

 

[patomaha]

He wasn't just talking, he has a sinus/respiratory infection. Dra. Rasmussen gave him Baytril and a bacterial culture. If he's not doing better in 5 days, she'll do blood work and an x-ray. He has already stopped sounding wet.

 

[Maureen Las]

Then the baytril is effective which is good Please keep us up-dated.

How's he doing today?

I agree that the Baytril is a good choice.
It usually works pretty quick.

How are your other buns doing?

When you get a chance you might make a post in the Introduction section and tell us about your other rabbits and stuff.

I changed the title so other members would have a better idea of the more serious issue.
