Fur Mites/Respiratory issues

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

I might be the smartest here but, The vet told me what to do. And sounds kinda stupid to do it separately.

Good news Fluffy is sounding a looking better each day. I just hope he continues his healing over at mom and dads. They are both going over tomorrow and I think i'll stay with them for a bit to make sure there ok. And to type up instructions for mom for meds.

I thought I read beforeI went to the shelter today a question relating to normal saline vs lactated ringers.
Normal saline contains a small amount of sodium chloride wheras lactated ringers has sodium, chloride, lactate , potassium and calcium (electrolytes)

Some solutions are specific to specific conditions but in this caseI think the normal saline is fine for a buffer.

How is it going? Have you done IV yet?

Best of luck and please, keep us posted.

His injections are going fine. I was over at my Parents place Yesterday and his nose was dirty, but he sounded fine. Still very active. I'm guess he's not over it. I'm leaving town till Monday. I will take him back as soon as I can to get checked.

My mom called shortly after I got home from my trip and I asked how my boy was and said he was doing good She said his chest sounds good and doesn't hear any congestion I asked about his nose and said she's felt it a few times and feels dry.

I'm going to have my sister go pick him and GF up tomorrow as I have to go back to work.

That sounds good, but keep us posted!

Fluffy is home now but his Baytril looks cloudy so i stopped his injections there are only 2 left. I tried this morning but it wont go into him. I'll keep a close eye on him.

The full course of antibiotics should be completed so maybe you could call the vets and get some more baytril and sterile saline .

If the course of meds is stopped before the bacteria is really dead the bacteria will become resistant to the drug plus the bunny will become sick again

I agree with angieluv. Rabbits are very prone to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and not doing the full course could make the bug even stronger. Also remember that resistance to Baytril is more common than other antibiotics so it needs to be given consistently to beat an infection. Should Baytril be refrigerated?

I was told to keep the Baytril in a dark place so i did but I cant say that my mom did all the time.
