Hi , just joined today:wave:
Our bunny Jerry is 4 years old and always been sickly . (We bought the rabbit that had been beaten up by all the other rabbits and was separated in a cage on his own, looking well past his sell by date.)
Needless to say he has not been a well bunny and we have nursed him back to health many times. We were told he was probably born with pasteurella - has lots of weepy eyes, snuffles etc.
We had his teeth done a few months ago as the vet could see his mouth was red inside and he had antibiotics. He was ok for a couple of months then we had to take him back - another anaethsetic as they thought it was his teeth but were told afterwards his teeth were fine and had more antiobitics.
We thought he had a sore mouth again, vet said it looked a little red and gave him anti inflamatories and yet more Baytril, which we have finished. His eye now looks a little weepy. It seems to me that this is not being followed up properly all we have is more antibiotics and no real follow up.
I am really tempted to try something like Golden Eye for a few days to see if his eye improves - if not I'll take him back to the vet. Surely endless antibiotics will do him no favours in the long run?
Does any one have experience of alternative remedies that may help?
