Hi everybody, here I am again..
I guess some of you may remember me and my bunny's case. He's a 5-yar old male rabbit.
http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.phpid=53715&forum_id=16&highlight=emergency?
Once again, for those who didn't follow my previous trend, I'm in Brazil and our vets aren't the best. They're actually bad and even kill animals who could have been saved.
In the end, like I first heard from this website's great contributors, my bunny had teeth problems (spurs) and had 4 teeth filed. Came back home and could eat again.
But now I suspect he may have pasteurella. He's been weird. Doesn't want to eat what were his favorite fresh leaves (only carrot leaves), wants to eat more pellets (changed food preferences) and a couple bites of fruit. He still plays but has gotten more lethargic.
The weird thing (which I thought was/ is (?) a tooth problem recurrence) is that he makes some weird noises. Nothing I've ever heard.
Besides what seems to be noise coming from his throat area, he also makes different noises coming from inside other areas of his body. His breathing has no whistling sounds (so I guess it's not yet pneumonia). A little eye discharge is present, and he has nose discharge (in that lip crack between his nose and mouth). I thought that was drooling.. but no...
Today - I've just noticed - he's sneezing, not like he has before, but heavily and more often. When I approached him some hours ago, he sneezed with a noise like mucus inside him. That was the 1st time I've heard this sort of noise. The other noises he makes are weird, but not like mucus. I can't even define. It's weird. Some are like a honk, some like a small dog's cry (but fast like a honk) some like squeezing a rubber ducky. I know these aren't the best definitions ever, but I can't define them better - if at all. I hear these noises randomly, but I noticed them somewhat commonly when he changes position, eats or when I
I brought my bunny to my room with me and I noticed some thick white stuff in my arm, that came from his nose. I started cleaning his nose and there's more and more. He's still sneezing - not heavily anymore, but often.
Another curious thing is that he keeps "chewing" all the time. Technically, chewing nothing. (so I thought it could be a tooth problem again).
What can I give to save him?
I'll surely take him to vets again tomorrow, but if you could give me instructions and opinions, I surely trust you more. Last time YOU guys saved my bunny. Our vets didn't even see he had spurs. They only saw after I told them YOU said so.
* hmm .. I've been bringing my bunny into my room to keep him warmer. I thought of keeping him here until he's ok. I closed the windows and the door. Can I catch this bacteria? Can this be harmful to me? People tell me not to bring my bunny here.. but I want to stay with him...
Sorry for disturbing you again but I prefer to seek for the BEST help for my bunny, and YOU are the best. Thank you.
