| Emergency!! Help pls My baby Bunny is not well. She has a fever. She wont eat (she has not in a week I gave her nutri cal) She got so skinny. She keeps shivering. I took her to the vet (He was very cold and seems more concerned about making money he kept pointing out the obvious and even the vets assistant was more caring . Any way it turned out she had giardia and caused a fever he metronidazole liquid and clavamox drops. Thursday It will be a week! Her fever was 104.2 at the vets and now it is 103.5. SHe is not well. Clavamox is anti biotic I just found out. NO wonder It is not bringing her fever down. When I questioned him about this he said oh bring her in bring her in again but for what ? Just to make more money! PLease help me she is my best friend ! What should I do? How can I bring down her fever?? |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Yes, seek another vet and a.s.a.p You may find yourself in an emergency situation an soon if she continue this way!! You could try soaking her in a luke warm bath to bring the fever down. Not hot & not too cold, it must be luke warm. If that doesn't work try an ice pack under her belly. But I don't know if that would do more harm than good. I am so worried for your pup, I wish there was more I could do to help. How long has she has the fever? Has she eaten anything at all ? Is she drinking water, if so how much? Is she lethargic ? ( How is her energy level)

| You can find another vet, but it is not cheap to go to a vet. PLEASE do not let this poor baby suffer....get her to another vet NOW. The way you are describing things, she could very well die if you don't get her there NOW.

| I think I might be afraid to get this baby wet if she is ill. She may get chilled if she has a fever and it may make her sicker. I think your only option is to get her to a professional - a vet - as soon as possible. A fever usually indicates some sort of infection, and with these tiny babies you can't allow it to go on too long. I would take her soon if she were mine. Good luck - please keep us posted. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Hopefully you have gotten her to another vet tonight. These babies can go down hill so fast. An Er vet may be your best bet right now to get her immediate attention. Please let us know how she is doing.

| I'm going to stray from the pack here and say kindly and gently to you, please don't waste time in trying any of the things suggested here. You have a very sick little pup and you need to get her to a vet, a different vet....she needs help. If you can not afford to do so we can offer you suggestions such as CARECREDIT. Good Luck and please let us know how your pup makes out....
