Denver, my bun bun is sick!

[sasvermont]

Last evening, I moved Denver from the guest room to the porch. He is in a pen , by himself and not in touch with the other bunny at all. They can see each other, but that is about it! I covered his pen with a blanket last night, to keep him warm and feeling loved. He ate like a champ this morning - and it is the first time I have seen him really happy to eat Spring Mix .... it was his favorite until this nose things came in to play.

I hope there is much improvement today and over the weekend. I bought him bunny vitamins to take too.

I have the phone number for the exotict pet vet at Tuft's University and if Denver does not improve over the weekend, I will ask my vet to call for advice.

Wish us luck!

Keeping tabs on you and Denver. Here's to a weekend full of improvements!

Everything's crossed for Denver this weekend!

He is eating everything now. I went to the health food store and bought every kind of exotic herb I could find. I am trying to fix him with good, healthy food! He is still using the nebulizer and taking benadryl but that is about it.

If Denver is still suffering by this weekend, as much as he is now, I am going to opt for a round of a different antibiotic, in liquid form. I am going to call the vet today, to set up an appointment.

He is out on my porch in his cadillac cage, covered at night to keep warm, and happy as a clam, watching Cinnamon run all around the porch. I would have switched them and put Cinnamon in the cage, but Denver has a tendency to eat anything and everything in sight, including rugs, brooms, you name it. I thought that keeping his intake of foreign objects should be kept to a minimum.....thus the cage.

I have never seen a bunny with as much strength as Denver. He has been trying to breathe for almost two months now!

Thanks for listening!

Keep breathing little Denver - you are a superhero-bun bun

I gave Denver his first dose of Zithromax and he tolerated the cherry flavored junk. I have to give it to him only once a day, for 14 days! . His appetite is still going strongly. The vet agreed that that alone is a good sign. She said he may breathe like he is doing now, for some time.

I think he is going to make it! Phewwwww. We still have a few hurdles but I do think he is getting better.

Bunnies.......now I will have the re-introduction thing to worry about when he is all better! I look forward to that, though!
