What is wrong with my bunny2007-11-24 22:17:42

He has runny eyes and a runny nose. it's not clear though, its kind of like a whitish puss. I don't think that he's eating either. In his mouth there is this white puss that's hardened around his upper teeth kind of between his gums. I tried to scrape it out so that he could eat, some of it is soft, but the rest has kins of hardened. could it be a yeast infection? Please help my sick bunny! My parents are ready to just put him down, but i want to know if there is anything that we could do. Thank You.

Answers:

You can go to the feed store and by powdered antibiotics. Sounds like bunny has a really bad upper respiratory infection. Might not hurt to put him in a real confined space and use a humidifier with a little Vick's in it to help clear him up. Hold him up to your ear and listen to his chest. If it rattles, he needs a vet.

If you elect for the feed store, ask the clerk for rabbit safe antibiotics. Most carry them and they have dosing directions on the package.

Get hold of your veterinarian immediately.

He has a cold and you should take him to the doctor right away. They aren't serious if treated, but can be life-threatening if not treated. Also, if you have other animals, you should keep it away from them until you get treatment for the rabbit.

You need to get that rabbit to the vet ASAP.

These people are diagnosing your rabbit without even seeing it. Get it to a vet and let the professionals deal with getting your bunny better.
