I mentioned on another thread that although milly had an appointment on Tuesday, I 'd decided to take her this evening as I wasn't100% sure about the paw which had been stapled on Tuesday. I didn't want to leave it to chance and perhaps incur another emergency fee. I'm so glad I went with my gut instinct. The good news is that the pwas which had the biggest and more serious abcess is looking great. Suzetta was amazed at its progess as that was the one which worried them most of all during the op. Isn't it just sod's law that the smaller one would prove to be the problem:roll:. She decided to remove the staples as it looked as though there was a bit of infection starting up and showed me how to clean the wound out with hibiscrub, and then put in some intrasite gel which helps to keep it a bit cleaner. She says to let her out in the run as much as possible as long as it's dry and the grass isn't muddy or contaminated by other animals. Fortunately there's a big area of lawn where none of the other rabbits have been for months so that can be here hospital zone:lol:. We'll review the situation again on tuesday but Suzetta is hopeful that strict wound hygiene should help clear it all up. We also had a chat about spaying her and the possibily of a dewlap reduction,but she admitted that she's very nervous of doing a reduction for 2 reasons: she's never seen one done, far less performed that sort of op, and also wonders if opening and suturing yet another site is advisable on a bunny who seems to be prone to abcesses. She says she'll do a bit of research though. So..can Milly please have some of your anti-infection vibes please and can I have tons of Bravery vibes because I'm quite squeamish about touching gaping wounds:shock::shock::shock: Talk about a steep learning curve:lol::lol::lol:
