Hi Everyone,
I just purchased a Dwarf Hotot buck last week, when I looked at him to buy he did have a little bit of a runny nose. I didn't think much of it because it was very hot that day and with the traveling maybe he was just a tad stressed. Well after I purchase him and get him home he starts sneezing and white watery mucous is around his nares. His eyes were watering too. My question is this, could it be snuffles??
This buck is 4 years old and was kept in an enclosed garage so could it just be that he lived in a high ammonia environment for years and is trying to adjust? He has been on Terramycin since Friday and this morning he looks dramatically better. He is inside away frommy other rabbitsand I'm using strictsanitation measure to prevent the spread of whatever this is.
If this is snuffles when is he no longer contagious? Can snuffles be cured or will it come back? Basically, I'm stuck with the decision should I keep him if he gets better or send him back to the breeder?? I love this little guy's type but I don't want to risk infecting my other buns.
Thursday(day 1):
Sunday(day 3):
Today(day 4)-much better, the fur is dry but you still see the mucous up in his nose:
Thank you so much for any and all help!!
