Just a little background- When I moved in with Colin a while back, I took three of my animals and I left three for my mom (Ginger- wolf mix, Abilene- kitty, and Sophie- my rabbit) - I left those three because they were soo bonded /attached to my mom that it would have absolutely broken her heart if i took them. My mom is really attached to those little ones too- so we decided after talking it over that me taking 3 and leaving the other 3 was in everyone's best interest. So she has had Sophie for a while now.
I adopted Sophie about 2 almost 3 years ago from a local pet store. At the time i was looking to adopt- the local rescues didn't have any bunnies that looked to be in good shape- so we went there and decided to adopt a leftover Easter bunny. After I adopted her- i took her and had her spayed/ full vet check and she has been in good shape since. Until a few months ago that is- she developed really horrible allergies. It's just been downhill since then and she's getting worse and worse.
Sophie has had allergy shots gallore. Her eyes look horrible and she's ripped all of the fur under her chin out and on other parts of her body. We don't know what to do. We've kept her eyes clean with saline water and she's gone to the vet regurally just about every week for the past two months. The vets office she goes to (it's a father and son) are one of the best in our area as far as being experienced with rabbits go...but even they're stumped on what's wrong with her so they're trying to consult another vet.
She eats only the best food (timothy hay based pellets, fresh timothy hay, fresh veggies - limited amounts of fruits/treats- everything is measured out so she gets exactly enough each day). She is indoors only, spayed, has a massive cage Colin recently built for her a few months ago- not to mention run of the house a lot of times....and my mom's house is really clean- she doesn't let it get dusty/etc....so i honestly can't think of what would trigger this
The vet is supposed to call my mom before they close tonight and let her know if anything has changed- so as soon as my mom knows she's supposed to call me - so i'll update. Any vibes for Sophie would really be appreciated.
