Hi there, I have prescribed daily Streptacare injections for a number of buns, all were dental abscess cases. It is a mixture of penicillin and streptamycin and possible side effects are as per any injectable penicillin i.e possible diarrhoea/ gastrointestinal upset. However, I haven't seen any side effects as yet (touch wood!). It is Francis Harcourt Browns antibiotic of choice for abscesses so if its good enough for her its good enough for me!
My bunny has just been diagosed with a jaw abscess that's affecting the bone. He has been put on streptacare which I have injected for the first time today. We'll see how it goes.
I had two bunnies with middle ear abscesses that were on depocillin, but I haven never used streptacare before.
Tommy recovered well from his dental abscess which is a small miracle as my vet wasn't hopeful at all. I can still feel a small lump, but it doesn't bother him anymore and he has been problem free for many months now.
I have however another bunny on streptacare now. He has an eye abscess which looked very nasty. He has been on streptacare since Monday and touch wood, the eye looks so much better and the abscess seems to have shrunk considerably, there is no more pus either - this is much quicker than expected. I am struggling to keep Magic eating, but he is eating enough at the moment to keep his guts going ok. He is also on metacam, eye drops and I am giving him Fibreplex.
Magic's eye has much improved (almost back to normal) and he is also eating quite well again. I am sure my vet will be quite pleased when he sees Magic tomorrow. Streptacare has worked very well - yet again.
