SneezyBunny is Sneezy

We trotted off to the vet this morning because the Baytril just isn't working. Pepper got better for a week or so and then started slowly getting worse again, till we were actually a bit worse than we had been before she started the meds. Sad little wet noises from under the sofa :)

We got the vet that I trust more, and she agreed that a sinus flush and a culture were needed to see exactly what germie we were dealing with. How undignified! They said Pepper was a good bunny but I suspect that they lie. She's also lost a tiny bit of weight - about .02kg every 3 weeks. She's not been her greedy little piglet self of late, and the vet reminded me that she probably can't smell much of anything - hence she is eating and pooping, but a bit less than usual. Nothing to be immediately worried about, but enough to indicate that she's not feeling at all well.

So we're off all meds now and waiting for the culture to come back in 3-5 days. Poor thing is sneezing again, but it's a higher pitch now so I think it's leftover sinus rinse.

I was going to go fabric-shopping this afternoon but it's cold and s'posed to rain again. I think I'll do laundry, clear out the sewing room, clean and oil the machines and make the petticoat instead (I was planning on converting an old Faire one that has a couple of rips, so I have that already).

BTW, forgot to tell you that last night's Dr Who, which I watched this morning, was another one that had my jaw dropping by the end. Donna is going to keep him on his toes... they do great arguing. It was a very good thing that I was watching it taped, or I'd be screaming at the tv during adverts. Fortunately, god created fast-forward.

Need to do laundry, too. Was going to do laundry. But cold and rainy. So I'm huddled under blankies, doing the occassional stitching, ChaCha-ing, and about to have some TaiPei bourbon chicken. And wearing snuggies. And watching really really bad monster movies on SciFi. TP has finally relented and is willing to flop next to my recliner again. Spent a full hour there this morning getting face rubs.

Eat, widdle bun!

I'm sorry she isn't feeling very well... I hope they manage to figure out what she's sneezing about!

Well the sinus flush did SOME good. Once she finished sneezing out the saline (her sneezes sounded higher-pitch) and had a nap to recover from the indignity, she had a good sniff around the floor and is now stuffing her face with greens. I put out an extra half-measure of pellets too, to take advantage of her appetite.
