Oh poor little guy - I do hope he starts to feel better soon

Well, just this morning, Denver was sounding horrible. I just don't know what to do. I think an experienced bunny person is in order. I may contact the folks in Conn., where I picked him up from the rescue. They have probably seen everything. I am at my wits end.

Denver, however, is eating and using the litter box. He has lost more weight, still, but seems happy.

My vet and I talked a bit over the weekend and she thinks time will heal his ailments! I still nebulize etc. and he eats only things that are really smelly....like cilantro, mints......etc. He does finally eat his spring mix, but only after finishing off his herbs.

So, Denver is the same. He is still in the guest room, by himself, since he has not improved that much......poor guy. He is being such a good little bunny boy. I feel soooo sorry for him.

Stay tuned.

Thanks for listening.

You need to take him to your nearest rodent vet IMMEDIENTLY! I think that Petsmart/Banfield can care for rodents. Contact them for more infomation. All my thoughts and hopes for your bun!

Rabbits aren't rodents. Where abouts are you located? Maybe there is a close rabbit savvy vet to take him to or like you said take him to the rescue you got him from.

I hope he starts feeling better soon.

I sure hope that he'll start feeling better soon. Please continue to keep us updated about him.

Well, after nebulizing Denver this morning, he seems to have improved in some ways: 1. His nose is not running 2. His one eye has stopped tearing 3. He is eating more ..... but he still sounds congested and snotty. I did use an antihistimine last night..... just squirted it on his nosey! I think I will try it again tonight.

I never did contact the original place (rescue source) but will do it today.

I have spent over $700 trying to get this "meat rabbit" healed. He is such a little love and is being such a good bun bun..... I JUST WANT HIM TO GET WELL!
