Hi everyone, i have a question about rabbit sinus.
I'll explain what happened.
Basil had dental surgery 2 weeks ago, and the vet more or less filed his back teeth right down. He now has a runny eye and sinus (we know its sinus from the dental as we took him to see the vet again on thursday and the vet checked him over).
The vet gave him anti inflammorary drugs and painkillers (which he has every day) but he still sounds sniffley, and I was wondering if menthol or something could help him out a little.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated :)
Thanks xx

usually runny eye means you are dealing w/ the above diagram.

So I would recommend an x-ray that goes around the head to see if you are dealing w/ the above
 
Oh, I would of thought the vet would have checked for this when he was under anesthetic when he had his teeth done.
His gums are still very sore and irritated and she said thats why he has the sinus.
The vets we take him to specializes in small animals.
