Other PetsEven though this is Dog Forums, not everyone can limit thier love to just dogs. This is your outlet to talk about other pets you may have or want and questions about them!
If you read my other threads you would know I found a rabbit and was very excited to keep it. I really loved having that little bunny.I thought he was getting better when I started giving him his medicine and his tilt head went away but then his skin started scabbing up on one side of his body.
I took him to the vet today and she said he had Peturill(or something like that) Well it was very sad and disgusting. In a matter of a day the scabs went from just ordinary looking scabs to being open woulds. She pulled one of the scabs off and discovered a big hole in his face! This bacteria has eaten through his sinuses and bone and is making it's way to the other side of his face and eventually up to his brain. She said he is too far gone to ever get better. She's worked with bunnies for over23 years and even cases less severe the rabbits are not saved or never get better.
So he was put down. My poor little baby bunny. I will miss him.
Oh she said this is pretty common in rabbits and some are even carriers and some are possibly born with it.
Thanks Mdawn.
Now I have a bunny cage, a big bag of hay, two bags of food and a bag of bedding. I guess I will donate it to the shelter this weekend.
This sucks.
Thanks everyone. I know I only had him for 2 weeks and I do feel better knowing he was loved for those two weeks and cuddled and stuff instead of outside somewhere to die alone of this horrible disease he had. I keep forgeting he's not here and I came home today thinking I had to feed him.
Well I'm glad he's not in anymore discomfort.
