Frosted Rabbits
Well-known member
one of the very young Mini rexes I bought last week died within 18 hours of getting home. Within 24 hours, another MR had a snotty nose-- Soooo
EVERYONE has been treated for 4 days with tetracycline in their drinking water. I even put some treated water on the floor for the loose rabbits-- thinking I really can't control where they go and how they share stuff.
I managed to catch three of the four loose rabbits, a plus for me, as it does seem they are all pregnant. One has an abscess-- so I can treat her for Cocci. If my thinking is correct- a couple rounds of amprolium on her will clear her up, and if it works, everyone will be treated one round as a way to make sure it does not become a problem because she shed them while she was loose. Another doe seemed to actually be coughing a wet, pneumonia type cough--
As of this morning, the coughy doe is breathing easy, and the snotty nosed MR is no longer looking like a kindergartner.
I am SO looking forward to nicer weather :clover:
