Denver, my bun bun is sick!

Looks as if your home computer couldn't deal with the new fast connection
I am sorry to hear about Denver. The breathing issue can be something with the heart as well. I wish you all the best.
And what's it about Miley?

Please tell me she's ok.

Good luck with Denver....let us know how he gets on.

He is still ill, but made it through the sedation. They found only clogged sinus on one side, the other side is clear. They took a sample to send off to a lab to culture it....fungus or bacterial? He lost more weight, not good, except that he was a pudge butt to begin with. We will have to wait one week or so for the results. He is going back on Baytryl for the next two weeks, again, unless we decide to change meds after the culture results come back.

I bought some tea tree oil tonight and put that in his humidifier. I feel better having the smell drifting through the house so I assume he too can breathe a bit better.

The vet said his xrays showed nothing. His lungs are clear and only his right sinus is a mess. We haven't ruled out a turmor but right now we are thinking infection, not tumor.

I will keep you all posted.

He is such a sweet guy. No trouble at all. I think he is enjoying having the guest room to himself, with lots of attention from me....and from the cats....lots of tasty food several times a day....what more could he ask for...I know, being able to breathe through both nostrils!

The vet bill was outrageous. As my dear, sweet, deceased brother would have said to me ... "think how many new bunnies you could buy with that amount of money"....... He was always scarcastic, but was also an animal lover and would never suggest Denver be PTS. He often said that about my cats and the stories I would tell about the price tags at the vets.

Tonight I asked if I could get a part time job there, at the vets, to get an employee discount! They laughed. Sure. I just met their payroll for Friday!

I love Denver so and would not put him through anything that would torture him. If he has the strength to hang in there and get better, then I will make the money available somehow.

((((((((((((((Denver)))))))))))))))

Sas, I know you have been very busy with work but please do update us on Denver's test results when you get them back.
I hope he feels better soon.

Barbara, I had asked Sas about Miley when I sent her a PM.
Miley had some tests done at the vets just after I had visited.
She is fine, she just needed a change in diet.

Poor Denver - hope you start to feel better soon

Sending prayers to you Denver and a xxx for that wiggle nose.

Well, Denver is still sick. I hope to hear from the Vet soon. He had a bad night last night. I took him into the bathroom, twice with the shower going full blast to steam up the room. Poor guy. He looks so uncomfortable.

This is really depressing, to see him this way. Only a few more hours/days, I hope, until we either switch meds or.........................let nature take its course.
