I hope this wraps it up. The vet pretty much confirmed everything that Bunnylady said. She gave the buck a good going-over and declared him fit and said that the murmuring squeaks were nothing to be concerned about. She further addressed the "dewlap" as nothing to be concerned about from a...

Thanks for your points of view, folks. I guess I'm having the same problem as a student trying to learn a foreign language - all the new terms and their meanings. I thought "snuffles" was a generic term for the various symptoms of a respiratory irritant or infection and could be caused by a...
