Send Good Vibes
Hello all,
Mrs. Sniffles asked me to have everyone send good vibes her way. She thinks her bunny parents are worrying to much about her...
She did get a lil bit more sniffly overnight but she has gotten her dose of antibiotics last night and this morning.
As she mentioned, she had to go back to the vet yesterday. The vet poked, prodded, and took a nose swab of the lil girl, who was not very happy. She was started on fruit flavored Baytril, while the nose swab is cultured. The vet did not seem that alarmed, as we caught it very early. The vet commented that we knew she was sick before she really manifested any symptoms. (Mrs. S just says it is b/c she has such great bunny parents and just know when she is off.)
Mrs. S doesn't like to take her meds... (does any bun?) She even managed to give bunny daddy a good nip this morning to show her displeasure. The evening dose we can add as salad dressing to the food. It is the morning dose with no food that is causing the trouble. Even the bunny burrito doesn't really work... How do you buns prefer a syringe full of stuff to be given?
If anyone wants more info for their own edification the University of Miami (in Florida) has a great site. (http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/hare.html)
Here is an article on sneezing, runny noses and the like in rabbits.

we would haf said the bunny burrito, but that doesn't werk. Mrs Sniffles, we know you hates the med-i-kshuns, but you has to take them so that you aren't snuffly anymore!
We're glad your mom and dad caught it early! Take your medicines like a good bun, Mrs. Sniffles. We hope you feel better soon.
We mostly don't like it at all. But, the stand-up facing out bunny burrito (firmly held) and the syringe in the side behind the teeth sometimes works. But you got to be careful not to choke us with that stuff .. Oh good luck there kiddo ..
hey you - you need to take your medicines you silly bun
i'm sorry you have the sniffles but you have to get better
nose bumps
We hope you feel better soon!
I am sending my strongest healing purrs to you Mrs. Sniffles, that you feel all better soon. Please take your medicines like a good bunny.
