Hi all, I have a problem. I am in newzealand, and my rabbit Harvey has another eye infection.
He had one before I left and was signed off by the vet before I came away. I have 2 rabbits outside and a cat, so a friend is looking flat-sitting, however, he is not rabbit savvy an is now in the position of having to take Harvey to the vets and administer meds on a regular basis. I have not been able to contact the vets so far, so I don't know how bad the ulcer is this time, it was pretty bad last time. I am here for a wedding and feel terrible that my little bun is not getting the care and attention he needs but I do not know what to do! I looked at putting him into a kennel, but I don't know of anywhere I can contact who is rabbit savvy or will administer meds every 6 hours.
We have another vet appointment on Monday, hopefully that will establish weather it is healing quickly.
My flat-sitter leaves the country in a few weeks and 2 other friends are going to do a period each until I return, but they both work and neither has ever had rabbits.
I don't know how long ulcers take to get serious...it has been a week since he was signed off by the vet for the last ones....
Any advice or ideas to pass on to my flat-sitters would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know what else I can do. It was very hard to get anyone to flat-sit at all!
I have access to the net for the next few days, then it will be a week or so before I will be near a pc or phone reception.
