we are without a vehicle again!!this time it's the starter. it's being fixed tomorrow though THANK GOD..this is stressful..BunBun seems ok.. eating, pooping same old stuff he does but he seems tuckered out. Last night he wasn't quite as active as the night before with his happy binkies.
I thought maybe he is just tired because wow did he run that night and jump etc. He seemed so happy. He just wanted to lay around last night and actually hopped into his cage early. he hadn't been that wired in a long time so maybe he really is just having a lazy day.
BUT to me, it looks like his ear is swollen. My adult daughter doesn't see it, hubby either but I know this bunny. They're making me feel like I'm seeing things. My daughter is the first one to tell me take him to a vet. She likes animals more than people so I do trust her instincts usually. I call her the bunny and cat whisperer. However, it does look swollen. If I can get a camera in this house to work, I'm going to post a picture so maybe you guys can compare his two ears.
I just read in another thread about becoming resistant to Baytril. It worked the first time like a charm. He takes it by mouth without a fuss but if his ear is swollen that would mean it isn't working this time, right?
Am I overreacting do you think? Based on one night and day of being not as energetic as the night before last?
Is it difficult to give a needle to a bunny? If it comes down to that, I'm not sure I could do it. well, of course I would but the thought of doing it wrong scares me to death. He didn't seem to mind the needles the doc gave him. The doctor did it between his shoulder blades.
My poor bunbun. I'm over vigilant I think. My hubby says my fear is making me see something about his ear that no one else does.

(and now I have major obstacles in the way so they are all completely separated..) I will request those and ask to be shown how to give the injections. I used to give my niece her growth hormone when she was little but that was intramuscular so I'm not really afraid to give needles just to the bunnies because they seem so fragile.
