Vicks helps stuffy noses!

[Oliverhunbun]

Yesterday, I decided that I’d start bringing Oliver in the bathroom while I showered to help his URI. I noticed that his breathing was a little whistly but not full wheezing. Sounded squeaky. It’s been like that for the past week. Today, while showering I brought an opened tub of almost finished Vicks and put it in the shower hoping it would mix with the steam or something. After I showered, I left the water running for a little longer and put the tub in front of his nose twice and for a couple seconds each. I sort of waved it around in frountof his face but not too close. He did have a sneezing fit a couple minutes after but it’s now been an hour later. He’s only had one sneezing fit and that was after he was smelling a feather that fell off one of those boa scarves so that might have been the cause. His nose is more runny than usual- I think from the Vicks loosening up the mucus but the good part is that his breathing sounds normal now!!! He’s my first bunny so I was beginning to think the squeaky breathing was normal! His sneezing is still the same and he has a more runny nose, but the Vicks seemed to help his congestion! Just wanted to share this in case anyone else was thinking about using Vicks!!

Um no no no… Human medicen if for animals is horrible for it.
Take it to the vet and if you cant afford to go to the vet than you should not have a rabbit

Hi AmericanBlueVelvets, welcome to the forums!
Oliverhunbun has sought veterinary care for her rabbit, so no worries there.
