Jazzy is not well!

Purplebunny · #1 01-28-2005, 05:51 PM

I have had a tough week this week! First of all Pete came home with the 2 baby bunnies, and we had to have one put too sleep.
And this morning Pete went out to the bunnies shed, to open the door for them so they could go out to the run. And he noticed that Jasmine, was not her normal self. He asked me to have a look at her before I went out. I checked an hour later, and from what Pete had told me, she had not moved. I picked her up, and gave her a quick look over, and then put her on the floor, she moved her head up and down and then laid down.
At lunchtime when we both got home, we checked on her again, she still was not herself.. We decided to bring her indoors and see if she got any better. We even got Amber to come in and see her, she lifted her head up to see her, and then laid it down. A few hours later we noticed that she had not been to the toilet or eaten/drunk anything. So we made the decision to go to the vets. The vet checked her over, took her temperature, looked at her teeth, eyes, ears and checked around her backside.. I asked her if she thought she may have Myxomatosis, even though Amber and Jasmine had both had the vaccination? She said it was unlikely, but not to be ruled out.. She thinks that Jazzy may have a urinary infection or a hairball. Anyway she gave Jazzy a antibiotic injection, and gave us some Baytril and recovery packs to take home. We are to keep her indoors, give the Baytril once a day, and to see if she goes to toilet.. If she is the same tomorrow and still has not gone to toilet,we need to give her some pineapple juice by syringe. And if she gets worse to give her the recovery pack. Worse still to call the emergency vet.
I just feel so **** at the moment, I love all my pets so much and hate when one is sick! I just hope she gets better..

I know what with losing Charlie last month, having the baby bunny put too sleep, Billy with a tummy bug.. I just think to myself what the @*#$...

I did'nt know Billy had a Tummy bug too, and that poor white Rabbit, was it in pain. I remember Babe pig in the City you could have tied a trailer to the Bunny if it was deformed with no pain.

Yes I remember Charlie, it was a Stillborn kit was it not, you must feel realy awfull,

Im with you all the way Steph

I don't know much about rabbits, but it sounds like you're doing all you can.

We'll just add her to our prayers here for you. Hope she gets well soon.
