Babit, bun-bun, was very sick, now at the RB

[kittycats_delight]

I am sorry about Babit. I hope the vets can help her get well.


I did a little search for the things she is being treated for. I found somethings on Pasteurella. It seems it is not the big problem though and I cannot find out anything about Enchephalitozom. I would like to though so I can understand.

What does Pasteurella multocida do to rabbits?

Pasteurella is thought to live in the throats and nasal passages of some rabbits without causing any signs of disease. However, rabbits can develop health problems caused by Pasteurella, especially if they are unwell or stressed:

• ‘Snuffles’ is the most common health problem in rabbits affected by Pasteurella. Rabbits with snuffles suffer from a nasal discharge and sneezing. Pasteurella isn’t the only cause of snuffles, but it is the one most people have heard of.

• Pneumonia can complicate snuffles in rabbits

• Some runny eyes in rabbits are due to Pasteurella, but there are many other causes too – including dental disease.

• Abscesses in rabbits are often caused by Pasteurella

I really hope Babit can be helped and return home to Jacques and to her momma.

Please keep us updated.

Off the phone with the Vet Clinic:

Se, still, can do nothing apart from rolls
Eat and drink from the syringe, the subcutaneous fluids have been removed, because she was getting tangled with the tube.

Babit crossed the RB.

After four days of treatment and not improving at all. We, the vet and myself, decided to put her to sleep and end to her suffering. The vet mentioned something about "vestibular disease" and caused too much damage to her brain.

Be happy up there. I sure will miss our snugly time together ,you now have a sister at the RB, Sisi, tell her I miss her terribly. I'm sure you will be fast friends.

Love you always,

Anna
