My poor little rabbit Cookie who had her leg taken off two weeks ago had to go back to vets yesterday. The skin wasn't strong enough and it has burst open. The vet wants to treat it as an absess and I need to clean it out with hibiscrub twice a day and hope it will start to heal up. She also has pain relief and antibiotics. She is still eating well and is happy enough in herself but I am really worried. Has anyone gone through anything like this?

It is her front left. she was attacked by one of my other rabbits in the night and the damage was so great it was basically a dead leg. and the antibiotics are Baytril

Would your vet consider changing the Abx to injectable Ceporex as It has better skin penetration?

You'd be better off with injectable penicillin....possibly combined with injectable baytril too. Will your vet allow you to inject her subcutaneously yourself?
