Hello, Has anyone ever had a rabbit with multiple burst abscesses? What was the outcome - euthanasia or successful treatment?
I'm a little overwhelmed with info now - abbymarysmokey and tinsel - I'm currently giving 0.5 mls of baytril morning and evening and washing wounds with hibiscrub, which is an antiseptic, mixed with salt and cooled boiled water. I am also using cotton buds and tweezers to pull out the pus.
One of my vets has mentioned possible surgery but not the other one who has written her off completely. I have been twice and never know which vet till I get to the surgery.
Anyway, I haven't been offered any kind of injections and I have no idea what to with the honey! The abscesses vary in size with the biggest being the size of a golf ball - maybe slightly smaller. The others are size of ten or five pence pieces.
Thankyou Tinsel I will try with the syringe although I am careful with the tweezers. The stuff is just so damn sticky!
I have a choice of two vets very local or a few further away but still close, maybe it's worth a ring round.
Oh, and I've ordered some honey factor 25 which is expensive stuff as I found out :roll: Not sure what exactly to do with it.
