I agree with Thumps and hope that a new course of antibiotics and/or the use of a nebuliser to really get into the connected sinus spaces will do the trick once and for all. As Thumps said, do not despair, there are plenty more things to try and longer courses of treatment available i'm sure. I would follow up the repeat prescrip. for the nasal drops and perhaps ask about the use of a nebuliser and some mucolytic drugs such as bisolvon? I...

pretty lupin is quite right, & also that I always shake out the hay, (winnowing). What ever brand is incredibly dusty at the moment down here. Given that Bisc has had snuffles before, is moulting, & feels the cold, I'd suggest starting him on Echinacea if it's OK with your vet.

I would get him to a Vet. Eating is the last thing to stop, a distended abdomen and reduced faecal output are warning signs that always require prompt Veterinary attention. Once the Bun stops eating they are much 'iller' and prognosis is not so good.

My beautiful girl Daisy is in for her emergency spay tomorrw, any spare vibes for this sweetheart would be much appreciated.

Poor Teddy, it would be so much easier if we spoke bunny language, but his bdy language is a sure sign that something is not quite right isnt it. Hopefully the results will shed some light and you will be able to get to the bottom of things. Sending you both lots of hugs. xx

Back from vets again He said she has improved, but kind of knew she was a bit better as last night she was humping Beatrix when she saw I had a biscuit (she always humps when she see them ) I asked about Engemycin, but he said because it causes a reaction on dogs and cats they don't keep the injectable stuff in only tablets, he can get some in, but he's put her on ceporex to see how she goes with that. She's back in Monday...

I'm so sorry, thinking of you
