Cooper is such a sweetie! :-*

Wick has a good point about some veggies being diuretics. Collard greens, kale, and dandelions can act as diuretics as well.

You never know! Hopefully you can get the odor situation figured out.

If no symptom improvement has occurred, I would suggest trying a different antibiotic.  I wouldn’t get too hung up on antibiotic resistance — if bacteria could adapt that quickly in every circumstance of treatment, we’d have a much more difficult time treating infections across the board.

Many thanks for all your comments! Cookie is on oral Azithromycin, 1ml/day since March 6 (15 days now) and on Gentamicin nebulization, .5ml/day for 8 days now, (he weighs 3lb) and he still exhibits the same symptoms as before: quick breathing with some crackling sounds suggesting a blockage in his nasal pathways.

I’m guessing she’s spayed, right?

i leave in 3 days, and that is a good idea. she has seen him plenty of times, has been very aware of his presence but it just scares me. i don’t want her too feel so alone and depressed:(

Thanks guys so much. Just as an update – wanted to let you know, I contacted the vet. She ordered some Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim Suspension antibiotics in case my bunny happens to have a UTI. Seems like a good thing to be better safe than sorry! The vet did not actually specify how much of this medicine I should get – their online pharmacy…[Read more]
