Well, it hase been concluded that Shaun's eye ulcer is not responding to either the Ticail or the fucithalmic drops. So my options are now this.
Be referred to **** vet to a specilist. It would cost £140 just for a consulation, £60 follow ups. They are most likely going to say teh same as my normal vet..and still charge me £140...
Take a culture off the eye and send it away to be tested, to see if its pasturela, in which case we would change his medicine to something called Exocin and a type of Baytril. Problem with that is he would have to be off his Tiacil for 2 weeks...and whenever we have taken him off it before, the infection came back and made his eye worse Also, i doubt its pasturella...
Just change the meds anyway, with out taking culture.
and then eye removal...
Its a tricky one, He dosent appear to be in any pain, he is a happy wee bunny, though obv it would be better if i didnt have to give him 2 sets of eye drops 3 times a day.Also I would prefer him not to go under GA as he is a problem rabbit and I suspect his insides may be messed up.
My vet doubts we will be able to get sight back
so unless we can make the eye more comfertable/ stable long term. Looks like eye removal.
Im just so sad, i was (stupidly) hoping he would be able to see even just a little again
Anyone had anything like this before?
what were the outcomes?
