I took Pebbles to the vet today.
For the last week orso, I noticedPebbleswas sneezing.She would sneeze twoor three times, wipeher nose and goback to what shedoing.The left sideof her nose was moistbut no mucus or milkydischarge.At timesPebbles seem to tryblowing hard through hernose. Imade surethere was no dust in her hayand pellets, but theproblem persisted for afew more days.
I had a chat with MBBabout some local Vetsin our area, and Idecided to try a Vetthat had alot ofexperience with bunnies.
It appears the she has an upperrespiratoryinfection.The Vetsaid it could be a dormantpasturellavirus thatwas triggered by stressor a change inweather. The Vetrecommended antibiotics
Apo-sulfatrim 2ml bymouth every 12 hours for 10days. She said totry this because itworks 95% of the time,before resorting to a cultureand sensitivity labtest. She alsomentioned to feed Pebblesplain low fat yogurtwhileshe is onmedication. So weshould know if Pebbleswill improve in a fewdays, and be completelybetter after 10 days.
During the exam, the vetnoticed a very smallspur on Pebbles lowerleft molar teeth. Shesays it is very small anddoes not warrant filing at thispoint,so I amaware of it. Goodobservation by the doctor.
