Raby Update

[Junkie2]

Hey guys/gals. I brought Raby to the vet (actually changed her name now from Rabbi to Rabi and then now Raby because people kept pronouncing it like a jewish priest haha ).

The diagnosis was a small case of conjunctivitis in her eyes - was told to use medicated eye drops on her 2x a day for 10 days. So far its looking a lot better.

As for the itching, it is a possible case of mites. She was put on Revolution (for cats) which is applied once every 2 weeks for 3 doses.

Very happy to hear that nothing was seriously wrong. The vet told me that she was a very healthy rabbit other than being a little overweight, which I am also fixing.

If anyone is in the Connecticut area, I definitely recommend South Wilton Animal Group and in specific, Dr. Fahey. She is extremely knowledgeable of rabbits and I am definitely making her my primary vet for Raby.

Glad everything is going better.

How do you pronounce the name? I was thinking it like the jewish priest as well.

:yeahthat: I was thinking the same thing. Is it pronounced like Baby as in which case it sounds like Rabies or like Ra bee? oh goodness I'm comfusing myself. lol:?:shock:

BTW she is very pretty. Is she a Frenchie ie French Lop?

It's Raby, like rab eee. kind of like the movie wall-eee.

We got her as a rescue and didn't think we would keep her. fast forward 7 months she is next to me now chomping on dandelion greens.

Just like Ruby, with the accent on the pronunciation of the "a". Funny, how everyone almost always refers to me as "Nancy", unless they read the whole ID.
