Our Sick Bunny

What a long day. Ryan and I noticed yesterday that Snuggies was not acting like himself. He was somewhat lathargic and had some nasal discharge going on. Seeing as how it was Sunday, there wasn't much we could do other than clean his nose and watch him really well. Today I made an appointment with the only vet in town that sees "exotic" animals. I guess rabbits are considered exotic.

We got there and they took us in immediately. When she first saw him she said she could hear him "wheezing". She looked him over and listened to his heart and lungs and said that he most definately had a case of pneumonia. She put him on a 10 day round of antibiotic injections. She was a super doctor and even walked me through giving him his first injection. Rabbits have very tough skin so it didn't hurt him at all. He didn't even flinch. She advised us to keep him inside for the next 2 weeks and to feed him what is considered "treat foods". Lots of apples, carrots, and grass. So far tonight he is eating okay but is not acting like himself. He is very lathargic. :( I sure hope he pulls through!! Here is a picture of him today at the vet.
