If you’ve been following my blog the past few days, you’d know that Roy, my pet bunny, hasn’t been feeling so well lately. We took him to visit Dr. Anderson of Anderson Animal Hospital in South Vancouver, and he diagnosed that Roy had an inner and/or middle ear infection resulting in Torticollis, better known in most circles as wry neck or head tilt. He prescribed some Baytril, an antibiotic in pill form that is supposed to help reduce the infection and control the bacteria. Obviously, Roy isn’t going to want to just munch this stuff up because, well, it tastes like medicine.
By popular request (I’m looking at you Dylan, here is a video of Roy taking his medication, smushed up into some banana so that he’ll actually want to eat it. And yes, he likes it very much.
He seems to be doing much better and the head tilt is barely noticeable except for when he’s sitting still in his cage. Yay!
I love it. It makes me want a banana and a rabbit.
He gets pretty excited, didn’t he? The only pets I have are 2 cockatiels. Pets are real fun and family.
Yeah, he loves his treats. I used to give him these Blueberry yogurt drop things that were specifically catered to rabbits. I learned, though, that these “special” (overpriced) treats aren’t as liked as fresh fruit. Roy also likes pear, apple, and other crunchy fruits (though clearly I couldn’t use those for the Baytril pill)
Step away from the bunny Michael! 😀
Stephen: So long as I don’t find my finger in his cage, I think I’m okay. 🙂
Roy certainly does gobble up banana-encased meds! He’s adorable! I’m glad he’s doing well. I think you’re going to have to have a Roy Category (Rabbitory? argggh) as I ended up looking for all the Roy Videos I could find.
