Hello!
My rabbit is 10 years old and he started to show symptoms of Pasteurella some time ago. (White mucus. sneezing and matted fur on his paws) However he’s been symptom free for 4 months and he seems to be doing OK. The vet did recommend us to come in again if it came back though.
Anyway, we’re going to Japan in July and we’re not sure where we’re going to keep him when we’re on our trip. We’ve been thinking about letting our local pet store babysit him, but we’re not sure if that’s safe. There’s probably going to be a lot of other bunnies there and we don’t want him to spread the virus. Another option is letting him stay at my grandparents house, but they have a cat that also might be able to catch it (?).
So my questions are: Should we be worried about him infecting other bunnies (even though there are no visible symptoms)? Is it possible for cats to become infected?
I’m not sure what to do
