Hi-
My rescue bun (4 months old) male has been sneezing on and off for about a month now (since I rescued him). We had him on Baytril (sp) for weeks and it did improve but never went away. As soon as I said it improved but needed refill vet said no and to see if it would go away on it's own now (I guess was her logic). I disagreed but what can you do...anyways he was fixed about 4 days ago and he is back to sneezing the same amount as he was when we stopped the antibiotics. I have heard Convenia is great via injection for treating this any recs? Is it as safe as say giving Baytril to a bun?
What do you think?
I also hear that a culture test is good BUT that in the end most rabbits have been exposed to Pasteurella at some point but there system can fight it off in most cases. So, thetest will more than likely come back positive for that when it maynot be the issue at all.
I will say this. Peanut was taken from his mom ata week old.So very sad I know. He wastaken in by Bunny WorldFoundation where I volunteer. So, he has a weaker immune system then most I think. He has no weepy eyes or any other issue with the lungs that can be heard.Thevet checked him and said that he does not seem like the typical sick bun that hasa major issue with many symptoms like above. We were going toflush outhis ductsat time of neuterbut vet decidedthe day of thatshe felt it was not necessary.
