Thumbs up

The little guy's nose seems a bit drier today than yesterday, so I think he's getting better. I dissolved 3 pills (petroleum 30c) in his drip bottle yesterday, and he drank some right away. Of course, he ate some hay soon after, so I'm not sure we can keep him from eating while drinking his "petroleum" water.

GM, what would you recomment for him when he gets furball obstructions instead of the petroleum-malt preparation? Or do we stick with the prep, but just not give it to him as often?

The vet told us that some rabbits are born with a "predisposition" for runny noses & sniffles (I found that rather amusing, in light of homeopathy ), and if left untreated by antibiotics, it could move up to the eyes, and eventually the brain, at which point it becomes incurable. Thoughts?

Thanks again,

RF
