unwell baby bunny

[littleboo]

my new bunny isnt very well. he is only 8 weeksold and im quite concerned. he has sneezing fitsof like 10 inrow and then a blob of white discharge comes out of his nose too.

is it just a cold or maybe something else?

It might be a cold, but you should take him to your vet ASAP. It could be something a lot more serious than a cold.

an immediate vet visit should happen. while atthe vet ask for a culture to be done. discharge of any kind especiallywhite is a sign of sickness.

 

[littleboo]

what is a culture?

If you have any other rabbits, separate themimmediately from the little one. Unfortunately it sounds likethe snuffles and it needs a vet's treatment of medication if the littleone can make it. It's fatal, so time is of the essense.

Will say some prayers. As noted, get the vet to take a culture.

youre vet will swab your bunny's nose to remove some of thedischarge and then grow it on different agar plates to find out what ismaking your bunny sick.. from there they can best say which antibioticwill be effective in making Boo better
