How's Denver?

Sorry for the late reply, but my internet kept stuffing up. I gave Boof this:

And i just put a spray up each nostril, he didn't like it, but it really helped. I also spray the nasal spray at about 5cms away. If i put it right next to his nose he would get the full human dose and i knew that wouldn't be good for him.

I didn't know you could use the nebulizer on rabbits. I get asthma sometimes, so i had one lying around the house. Nice to know just in case. What did you put in the nebulizer?

Hope Denver makes a full recovery.

Sas, thanks for posting a few photos of Denver and his kitty sisters Juni and Lucy.
I really hope he can get over this and feel better soon.
Sending get well soon wishes to Denver.

Miss Hoppy would SO NOT tolerate that nebulizer thing - thank goodness she's never needed one. She'd be too busy biting it and really, nothing is allowed to touch her chin, and ... Denver is being a VERY good bunny.

Denver is not improving much at all. He is holding his own though. He is just about finished with his meds again, so I just don't know what to do. I have started using the heated mist with euculuptus again. It makes me feel better anyway.

So, I guess my plan is to just keep at it and let him try to clear this mess by himself. I plan to move him back to his porch soon, but still keep him apart from Cinnamon the other bunny.

Gosh, this is really dragging on.

Does the vet have any ideas what might be causing it? It didn't begin at the start of maple pollen season, did it?

I have run out of medications for Denver. The vet is talking more exploration of his nose. I am not. This poor guy is slowly improving, but not enough for him to gain his weight back.....he is really slim now. I think he is still happy. I am going to rearrange the porch set up this weekend, confine the other Bunny to a cage (god forbid) and let Denver run around. Maybe the exercise will break up some of his congestion. I am at my wit's end. He is going to have to get over this on his own now. I will still nebulize him with the mucomist and eucalyptus oil in the vaporizor, but that is about it.

Wish us luck!

I hope he makes it.
