RESOLVED: MY little baby is dieing!! Plz help!!advice!Snuffles!

[Haley]

If you pm one of the mods with your location inOntario, maybe we can help you locate a vet within a reasonabledistance? I drive past dozens of local vets to get to my vet, who is 30miles away, but its worth it.

my naboor is a vary nice guy and has helped usout loads of times.He has helped us in sticky siduations and he knowswhat he is talking about..i trust him beuse i know him personlly and heis a good friend of the family

 

[Haley]

Im not questioning him as a person, Im just saying that he's not a vet and your bunny needs something more than vitamin c.

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Your rabbit needs a vet. He needs medication for his illness. Please try and get him to a vet. :?

 

[TinysMom]

Your neighbor may know a lot about rabbits -butmany many wry neck rabbits have been saved even when things look bad. Ihave treated six rabbits that had wry neck and they are active andhealthy now - one is doing laps around her play area today.

Please do not let this little one just die...there is no need for that.

How is she doing with eating/drinking/pooping? Iknow a lot of bunnies with head tilt have a lot of trouble doing thesenormal activities. The main thing for now is to make sure sheis eating and drinking. If she cannot hold her head upright,you may have to use a syringe to get some food/water into her.

HE has just passed..thank you for your comments but no more are needed now.:tears2:

 

[JadeIcing]

Very sorry

 

[NZminilops]

Poor little baby, I really hope you can find a local vet in case something like this happens in the future.

Binky free little guy :cry4:ink iris::rainbow:

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

OMG-I cannot believe this. I am so sorry for your loss.

 

[MyBoyHarper]

Sorry for your loss... poor bunny.

Please, I hope you use this as knowledge to know next time somethinglike this happens, to please get your rabbit to a vet instead of takingadvice from an unknowing neighbor. Vitamin C should've never beengiven, antibiotics are what were needed.

Again, sorry for your loss.

My one bunny had snuffles and he was only 2months old and I didn't take him to the vet, I treated it myself and itworked just fine. I used a product Called RabbitRX, it helps withsnuffles.





Good luck

With all due respect, snuffles requires medical attention and antibiotics, not OTC "remedies."

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you were fortunate!

 

[MyBoyHarper]

RabbitRX is for MILD upper respiratoryinfections. It's very weak and works against nothing more than theslightest sneeze. If your rabbit had snuffles, he'd be dead. Snufflesis a bad infection that requires antibiotics (and a diagnosis by avet...), not something like RabbitRX.

 

[hopntailrabbitry]

The vet said that he did had snuffles but I caught it in time.

 

[Haley]

A lot of people (and vets) use "Snuffles" as a catch-all term for any type of respiratory problem/cough/runny nose.

As MBH said, it was probably a very mild case that you caught early. Most chronic respiratory problems require an antibiotic.

 

[hopntailrabbitry]

Yea,but hey I was pretty darn lucky that Icatched it early. And when he gotten better it was onChristmas Eve and I named him Miracle. But he is soooooospolied!!!!

This is very sad ..it doesn't sound like you canget to a vet if your parents aren't home. Haley is right that there istx for headtilt but it isn't vitamin c.


I picked up a book at farm and fleet about raising rabbits ( meatrabbits??) and they mentioned medications and other things that I neverheard of before.

If you can get someone that your parents or you know to take you to a town vet it might really help the rabbit.

 

[Maureen Las]

I somehow didn't read that the bunny had died. So sorry but at least he isn't suffering. Please disregard my last 2 posts.

 

[hopntailrabbitry]

Nobody ever tells me that I don't care for my myanimals or don't bring them to the vet! Atleast hes better and Iatleast have talked to a vet of what he had and she said your luckythat you caught the early signs of snuffles. So there! Don't think thatI didn't take him to a vet at all!!! Atleast I asked a vet what he hadand she said snuffles but atleast you caught the early signs of it.

So, don't being telling me I don't care for them! I spend a lot ofmoney for my rabbits. So don't be telling me I don't take care of them.
