My bunny is justbetween 1-2year old and a rescue about 6 months ago I took him from a house that where keeping him under the stairs in a pet carrier, with 3 mad yorkies yapping at him through all sides. After a trip to the vets the next day he came home with various medications for lice, ringworm and e.cunniculi. Strange wee bunny that falls over alot and will actually lick you hand like a dog. Anyway poor Bailey as we named him once he started to recover was most recently attacked by something likea rat in my back garden while in his run, he has been hospitalised ever since, in boththe emergency vets andmy own.
He has four bites around his neck two on the right one on the left and one on his throat along with various scratches and scraps. After nearly 24 hrs in the vets he was sedated, shaved and cleaned up as they where worried about shock they waited. Since this he has become unable to lift his head and the swelling around his face and neck is massive. He is getting critical care as he cannot eat enough, is on antibiotics, fluids when required and panecur for the e.cunniculi which is what they think is causing him to be unable to lift his head at present. Today they have discovered that he doesnt have a blink reflex in his left eye and are now treating this also but we are concerned this could be nerve damage as his ear on this side also is floppy. He has been in the vets now for 5 days and I would like to be able to help him in some way, does anyone have anything I can do for him or any recommenedations I could make to my vet?
I have removed my other two rabbits from my garden adn they arenow in a bedroom until I am convinced there is nothing in my back yard. As they are digging the roads in the streets behindme theneighbours are convinced it may be rats they have disturbed.
