Pustule “pus" on lower bottom

Dear All,

I am not sure what it actually is. I also took my female rabbit to vet but as he is not a rabbit specialist, he doesn’t seem to understand the internal problem with her. There is a large pustule formation on the lower bottom opening. It also sags if seen from the side. The Vet squeezes the pustule and squirts the pus after every 3-4 days.
My female rabbit is never mated and is almost 7 years old. She has lost a lot of weight and now given up eating as well. She doesn’t respond to any sound much and sits at 1 place for hours. Is she losing the eye sight due to her health problems? coz she doesn't move her face when I try to distract her.
Please help me friends. I appreciate the help given. Thanks
 
It sounds as though your Rabbit is very sick. There is clearly a chronic infection going on. Has she received any medication at all ?

I am guessing that she has never been spayed (neutered/altered) ? If not then I am sad to say that the weightloss and other symptoms may be due to a uterine cancer.

A Rabbit who stops eating is also in serious trouble as their GI tract stops working. This can be fatal :cry: So intensive treatment is needed for this too


I am assuming that you are not in the UK ? Are there other Vets you could get to now as your Rabbit really does sound to be in need of more specialist treatment urgently :cry:
 
As Jane said, your rabbit is in a bad way and needs help. Please try and find a different vet who has some rabbit experience.
