Bunnymum16- Griffin is in 2 ex-pens hooked togther with a divider down the middle- he is housed next to Schroeder.  They are not bonded and living together (though I have seen some grooming thru the bars!) but I am not at all worried about the poos that get kicked over from one side the other or any contact between them.

Once you treat and get a negative result a certain amount of days after treatment (cannot remember time frame- but your vet will know what time frame depending on what treatment) then there is no chance of reinfestation- so it is perfectly safe to bond with another bunny.  Coccidia is not at all like pasteurella or E Cuniculi- as those a bunny can have and can always have and be symptom free and spread to other bunnies.  Coccidia can be treated and completely cleared up.  So as long as you get a negative fecal- and your vet might suggest getting 2 negative fecals to make sure coccidia is cleared up- then it should no longer be a concern.

 

ok thanks.she's on her day 4 of meds. i will let you guys know if she gets better

Your very welcome Bunnymum. As Sarita, Rabbitpam, Foxtailsskies and others have noted, the recommendation from veterinarian Merck's manual I offered may be extreme, geared toward rabbitries, shelters, labs, etc. rather than toward a houserabbit and may be outdated but as it was endorsed from the pages of the HouseRabbit Society and no one had previously brought up the importance of deep cleaning the bunny's environment up to that point in your threads, I thought this one seemed worth a mention as it dealt with coccidiosis. Just to answer your previous question which is moot point as it turns out, but if you ever decide to use Merck's endorsement of the ammonia solution, , you wouldn't need to find a commercial disinfectant that contains ammonia, you would just use 10% ammonia in 90% water. Because this seems very strong, you might reduce the amount of ammonia to just half of 10%. And never mix ammonia or bleach together or with any other cleaner, it would be toxic to the nasal passages of humans and animals. I use Sarita's recommendation of half vinegar/half water for my bunnies and as you know, it's an excellent one for us houserabbit ownders. Thanks Sarita, Rabbitpam, foxtalisskies and any one I've left out, for offering advisory on the cleaning point that may be more appropriate for little Chance. And, healing vibes little Chance, get better soon!

There's always a chance of two bunnies spreading something, whether it be something like coccidia, or more serious like EC. But I think the benefit rabbits get from living in a social situation far outweighs any small risk of contracting illness. And as long as you follow thru with treatment, I can't see any reason why they wouldn't eventually be allowed the chance to bond.

its been 8 days since she started taking Bactrim.her pee started to stink soooo bad so i have to change her litter box like twice a day.i give her a butt bath every other day because she still gets poopy butt.she is still bloated though.will update again....

so yesterday was her last day of taking Bactrim and there's still some left.should i continue giving it to her?

also,what should i do next?do i have to take her to the vet again?

oh and she still have a big tummy and she gets mushy poops still.i also noticed that her poops are big and some are oval.

I definitely would take her back to the vet for another fecal and address the big tummy and mushy poop problems.

The vet needs to do a fecal to see if the coccidia is gone.

ok thanks.im gonna schedule an appointment now
