Hi first time poster here. I recently started fostering rabbits for our local shelter. I started fostering two Flemish giant babies. They were a two months old when they and their siblings were seized. They were seized due to some of their siblings dying of snuffles. The vets at our shelter have treated them with baytril. Sadly only three of the babies made it. One of mine is fine and already adopted out. My other foster girl rain has been on baytril for almost 6 weeks. She is on baytril 50mg tabs one taken twice a day. It was keeping her sneezing down to a few times a day. But the last two days she’s had a few sneezing fits. So I don’t know if it’s still working. I think actually getting worse.
She has till Tuesday to get better or the vet will deem her unadoptable. I won’t let them put her down just for some sneezing. She seems fine otherwise. Eating and playing. The vet is very happy I will take her. Very supportive with me and that decision.
My long story leads to a question or five. Has anyone had a bun on baytril where it seemed to work for a bit and then get worse? It also seems to have worked on two buns but not some others. A brother of their’s had to be put down. And a few others that were seized with them.
I am preparing that rain will become our bun and then I will take her to my regular exotic vet. (I have guinea pigs) as this would be my first bun I am scared and worried about keeping rain. What kind of life can she have. And what things should I talk to the vet about once I get to my vet. The shelter will spay her for me and I’m thinking of asking them to do a culture while she’s under. But would a nasal flush be helpful too? I want to make her as happy as I can for as long as I can.
Sorry for all the questions. And any help or suggestions will be so welcomed.
