So, I posted about a baby bunny, no more than 3 or 4 weeks, being sold at my local Atwoods that I purchased because she seemed terribly sick.
Well, she's doing well, for the most part. I'm still feeding her milk, and will for the next 2 weeks or so. I have her in a sterilite tub for now, just because I feel like she enjoys being in a smaller environment for comfort and security reasons, and I keep some hay, pellets, and fresh, finely chopped/shredded veggies in with her. For the most part, she doesn't bother pellets, and she doesn't touch the veggies what-so-ever, but she nibbles a little hay every so often.
One thing that's come up that I'm a tad bit worried about is her breathing. When she breathes, you can clearly hear some gurgling noises through her nose, kind of like snorting. Butshe acts just as perky and playful as ever! But this just has me down right nervous, because I know that baby rabbits can go downhill fast if not taken care of promptly.
I think maybe she might have inhaled some milk while feeding, like I may have accidently squeezed too much out and it went up her nose, but I just don't recall this. I have plans to make an appointment for this weekend.
Oh, and as you all may have noticed, I've named her Foofoo, like from little bunny foofoo! I thought it was cute, and my mother picked it out soo, that'll be her name. I call her Fooey for short, so I guess it's all right
Thanks for whomever read this, and posts!
