Dominic has had an ear infection for nearly 2 months. At first he was on baytril which didn't cure it, so was put on depocillin...which seemed to be working at first but has now gone back to how it was before treatment.
During his last check up my vet discussed having a c+s done. He has another check up tonight, and I'd like to have made a decision re. getting the tests done or not. The tests are only about £70, so won't break the bank.
Part of me does wonder if it's worth doing the tests because they won't be able to get a sample of pus from his inner ear...and I also wonder whether its likely to culture a number of different bacteria, most of which won't be causing the problem? TBH I'm not sure how much bacteria rabbits normally carry in their ears, but I'm guessing they must have some? :?
Any opinions on whether it's best to get the tests done, or whether it's pointless?
