Sunday night, I adopted a dwarf lop whose owner no longer wanted him, and didn’t know how she would find someone who would take him because he has health problems. She said last year, he was diagnosed no by a vet, who isn’t an exotics vet, as being asthmatic. When I heard her dilemma, I told her I would take him, sight unseen. I love bunnies! My son has a dwarf Polish with him at college (smart bunny!) my daughter has two albino angoras, and I have a newly adopted 3 month old dwarf harlequin lop. What’s one more?

He certainly does bubble and gurgle, rather like a percolator. It breaks my heart to hear him. He’s so sweet and cuddly, a little darling. Even with his health problems, he’s my gain. First thing Monday morning, I called the exotics vet. The first time they could get him in is Wednesday afternoon. It takes 2 hours to get from where I live –4 hours round trip– but to get him to a vet who knows bunnies is worth it. I’m hoping his coming to me was so I could see he’d get the right care. Only another day until he’ll start getting the right care. The previous owner told me the vet she’d taken him to had given him medication, but that he hadn’t had any in a very long time.

Go for swimming. Apparently it helps expand the lungs.

I’m still fighting with my health condition. I’m now undergo traditional treatment and practise breathing exercise as i’m avoiding any drug especially steroid. I’ve been taking a pro-long steroid prescriptions since a few years ago due to my bronchitis problem. I’ve stopped taking my steroid inhaler a year ago after saw a good progress to my health condition.

But lately, i’m not feeling well and not fit to manage my 13 bunnies. Everytime i groom and do the spring cleaning, i will end up get my lungs wheezing. And when i’m sick, i cant provide them free-run, grooming etc for days. It is so sad to see them in cages for days.

I’m decided to put 7 of them for adoption and will keep 6 of them with me. But i hope my condition will get better in this few days so i dont have to give them away. I’ve received a few request on females today. And when i petted them just now, i cudnt hold my tears to fall as this is a very tough decision to make. Sigh…

Hope things will get better soon…

I’m lucky my asthma is not caused by pet fur or dander…. but it comes when I’m sick or the haze is bad. Well, now I’m sick so yah, just got some wheezing. I got asthma from my mom’s side of the family. My brothers do not have this condition, only passed on to me. But we are a stubborn family, pets everywhere even in our bed room and thankfully pet fur do not trigger our asthma. My mom gets an attack when she is under stress or when there is alot of dust. That’s about it.
