Bless the LORD!!! God is so good to me.
Sunday morning I found my rabbit "BunnyBoy" on the floor, stretched out and listless. I picked him up and he was in and out of consciousness and his breathing was raspy. His eyes were rolling back and very glassy. I thought maybe he had pneumonia.
I was so upset!! I just love BunnyBoy. I started praying right away, taking him to the kitchen (which is like a critter ER at my house) and fixed some warm water with sugar and salt, and put it in the little feeding bottle I have on hand just in case there is a critter who needs feeding by bottle.
As I gave him the water, most of which ran back out of his mouth, I remembered that a friend had given me a bottle of liquid antibiotic which she had gotten for her cat. Her cat had died before she could use the drug and she knows that I have a lot of critters and figured I could use it.
So I gave BunnyBoy a dose with the supplied syringe, way to the back of his mouth. I carried him around for the next few hours, giving him the water mixture every 20 minutes.
When I had to go to work later, I put him in a box on a white towel.
When I got home from work, I picked him up and could see that he had peed bloody urine on the white towel. I figured he probably had a urinary tract infection, so it was good to give him the antibiotic.
I gave him a dose every 12 hours and today (Wednesday) he is back to his bouncy-bunny-self.
I consider it a miracle that I had that antibiotic on hand. Bless the LORD!!!
