Hi everybody, this is my first post here, and I'll quickly introduce myself. I am a girl who used to volunteer a LOT at an animal shelter until some issues came up. I have 8 cats, 1 dog and fish. I have raised wild bunnies and a raccoon.

Anyway, 2 days ago my 4 yr. old rabbit died and it could be my fault. A week or 2 ago Kashmir began to have puddles of blood in her cage, and I told the vet it was in her urine, so I got her Baytril. After 4 doses, I saw that it was actually in her feces. The vet found that she had coccidia, and gave me Albon. It turns out that Baytril made it worse. After her first dose of Albon(which I'm not sure she ever swallowe) I left her alone for 2 hours. Next time I look, my fluffy, sweet bunny is dead. I don't know why, but I know I'll never forgive myself.

Ya know, when a pet dies, you think of everything you've ever said or thought about her, and regret so much. If only I could have her back again, I would do so much more.
I live only for the day that I will meet all the animals I've lost again. Life stinks!

I was just at the vet's yesterday, and she seemed totally baffled by what had happened. She rattled off several things that could have killed her: bad lungs, a heart attack, circulatory problems... I have no idea, but it doesn't matter, the result was still the same.
Rusty's Mom--When I heard that Baytril could have made it worse, it was from the Vet-Tech behind thin walls, so I guess they didn't want me to know. I'm sure if it did kill her, it was only because of her unknown problem. Not the meds. fault.

Ann--That is a horrible story! sad.gif But I am so glad Amber could be saved! I think I'll only use vinegar and water from now on as well. If I were you I would alert the company and get it publicized to save any future victims. Another fatal supply is the swiffer wet-jets. The dry part is fine, but the liquid is poison.
