Answer
Dear Darryl,

If you could give me the correct spelling of the bacterium, I might be able to help.  I'm not really sure what you're asking, though.  Do you mean what further diagnostics could be done to help your bunny?

What sort of noises is Coco making?  Are you sure they're not just vocalizations or snoring?  If you tell me the circumstances of the noises and more about when she makes them, I might be able to help.

Chest radiographs could reveal whether there is lung involvement or not.
