I have a 5-week old kit that has nasal discharge, matted fur on the front paws. She is sneezing/coughing, and is opening her mouth like a fish (trying to breathe?) when I hold her. We thought maybe she just got water down the wrong way? Is she choking?
What is this?! Is it snuffles? Who do I treat it with, if there's anything - and could her littermates already have it?
I have seperated her from her littermates/mom, put her in the cage above, but will be moving her inside for quarantine very shortly.
What should I do about her nursing? She is eating pellets, drinking water, eating hay, acting fine other than these symptoms. Should I supplement her milk with milk replacer since she's still nursing?
What about the other rabbits? Should I disinfect everything?
How did she get this? The rabbits haven't gone anywhere since the show this weekend and she didn't go, neither did her mom. The last time any rabbits were off my property for a show was in November of 2009, and I've taken a few to 4-H meetings.
I had 6 rabbits at the fair, they were all vet-checked and passed (although the girl wasn't a vet, just the superintendent.)
Help!? She was perfectly fine yesterday!
