Noah's ear abscess has returned u/d P122 doing well after an awful week

As you some of you know Noah has been battling an ear abscess since middle of last December He's had 3 ops to remove it - the last one being mid March & 3 different antibiotics. Since Noah's last op he appeared to have been doing very well after we'd treat it as an open wound & it healed well.

However, the abscess has now sadly returned again for a fourth time I took Noah to see our vet on Thursday night & she is contacting Frances Harcourt Brown tomorrow to ask her advice on how to continue treating Noah.

Both ourselves & our vet said last time if it came back a fourth time we would not put Noah through another op. However Noah is very well in himself at the moment & in fact has never looked so well.

Depending on FHB's advice we may opt for another operation - if we do Noah will go in on Thursday to have it done. If not then we will continue to try to treat it for as long as possible with meds.

I guess I knew in my heart it would only be a matter of time before it returned - I just hope somehow we can get rid of it finally or at least keep it under control & Noah pain free.

Any spare vibes you could send our special lad would be greatly appreciated xxx

Loads of vibes for Noah.

Hi Denise. You probably don't know that my white lop Totti has had an ear abscess for exactly the same amount of time. He's 9 1/2 years old so we're not putting him through any more ops that required a GA. We are treating it by keeping a drain hole in the abscess and I squeeze the pus out daily. When the wound heals over, it's reopened under local anaesthetic.

PM me if you want any more info - it might be an avenue of treatment you could consider.

Regards

Jill

Poor boy Tons of vibes for him x

I'm so sorry that the abscess is back.
Sending lots of vibes for your little man xxx
He is a very determined bunny and lucky enough to have you and the best vets on his side.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes for Noah - lets hope somehow we can sort it one way or another.

Thanks Jill - will pm you in a little while

Poor Totti It's awful isn't it because you feel so helpless?

It does worry me with Noah's age too as he's now about 8+ years old & the last ops have really knocked him for six.

After his last op we ended up having to lance the wound again as it started to swell up a week after & we flushed it each day with hisbiscrub & I then packed it with manuka honey which helped massively. But sadly it seems it was only a short term solution

We're going in tomorrow morning to see our vet so will mention how you're treating Totti's & if it's an option for us to try.

:wave: Here's Totti - they could have been separated at birth :lol:
