Unfortunately our little girl was PTS this afternoon. She continued to decline despite seeing 4 different vets in the past 2 days. She remained anorexic the entire time and by the end force-feeding was not an option as she breathing through her mouth and gasping. No swab and culture was taken as...
Good point, her decreased appetite could be due to the antibiotics as well. The first time she aspirated and was on antibiotics we did have to force feed her the first day as well, but the lack in grooming is more concerning to me because that has never happened before.
My vet isn't available...
Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has dealt with post-aspiration treatments for their buns and what, if anything helped.
Yesterday my 3 yr old bun choked for the second time. We had to perform the bunny Heimlich on her and continue to clear away the mucousal nasal discharge. As soon as she...
My rabbit is currently recovering from aspiration pneumonia! She was choking and we had to do the bunny Heimlich on her as she couldn't breath. Went to the emergency vet and was prescribed meloxicam (pain relief and anti-nausia) and enrofloxicin (antibiotic) for a week. The next day I had to...
I can't even imagine the pain you had to go through, I didn't have as much time with my bunny as I hoped. I was devastated as well to witness my bunnies death.
I feel extremely guilt that I was unable to help my little baby. We brought her to the vet 3 times and still nothing of this infection was brought up. It disappoint me greatly that a vet wouldn't just admit they have no idea what is going on.
Thank you to everyone for your words of kindness

Our home is normally in Calgary. However I am in medicine hat and the vet I used is city Vet clinic here. I would definitely tell you never to go to this vet if you are ever here
I wil force feeding her before taking her to the vet ( this time in a different city all together). However she won't even chew on the food I'm syringe feeding her. And even water she does not swallow. Does this mean there is a blockage?
I'm at a loss for what to do! My lion mane bunny who is 1.5 years old female stopped eating when we moved and hasn't pooped in 11 days!
She is grinding her teeth from pain a lot and her stomach is growling loudly. We've taken her to the vet 4 times in the last week and she has another...
