We have excellent rabbit vets but we are all struggling with Parsleys ear abcsess which has come back yet again. It now seems resistant to all usual abx (Baytril, Septrin, Marbocyl, Flagyl and despite using a combination of oral and topical abx and a cleaner fluid combined with the topical which is meant to help penetration nothing is shifting it this time.
Personally I am now rather scared that it will spread inside his skull - he has a half paralysed face and now his tear ducts are playing up as well. We want to go into the next consultation with more info on perhaps operations; who has had them done? Did they help? Is it very dangerous?
Our vet is a whizz with operations (especially the fiddly ones) but for some reason has not yet broached this option with us so I want to find out some background before broaching it myself.
Does Francis Harcourt Brown favour ops for ear abcsesses - anyone know?
PS Parsley is a lop.
