Hi guys,

Well Ebuny my gorgeous house bunny is still fighting Myxi it has been 19 days now. His nose is clearing but his eyes are terrible. He is going bauld around one in particularly. It is filled with puss and I have tried to clear it but it seems worse now so I feel I should leave it. His eyes were great when I started doing it with luke wrm tea and were finally opening, but now seem to be getting worse. I am not sure if this is me or the myxi.

Any advice to getting his eyes puss free and open again? Please he is so gorgeous and want him back to his cute self:

My vet advised me to gently clean Hugo's eyes twice a day with a weak saline solution when he had myxi,it's not your fault that his eyes are still sore, it affects them in different ways - Hugo's nose has been worst affected, it's all sore & weepy but you just have to do your best & the rest is up to them, hope Ebuny is feeling better soon :D

Well I am off to the vets tomorrow for more jabs so will ask for eye solution. I wonder why he didn't suggest it will that get rid of the puss or just help relieve the itching or swelling?

You can buy Optrex in the supemarket or chemist. It won't cure the problem but it will soothe the eye and make it more comfortable.
 
You sure this is ok to use on a bunny with Myxi?

Alo is it true bunnies can only breath through there noses?

Hi, Just reading your post about your myxi bunny. We have a bunny here recovering from Myxi, last week i had the tumours removed from his nose. Have you been advised to try antibiotics. With Fudge we used a high dose of Baytril for 2 week. If yu want to ring me then let me know. Fingers, paws and ears crossed for your littel angel.

He is on antibiotics and anti imflamatories. It has been 20 days now. Although he seems more normal in himself, but his eyes are all puss filled an swollen. His breathing has improved.
