Following on from this thread http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?331020-Swollen-eye-dental-related
Flopsy came through her dental well yesterday. The vet had to do a lot of work in her mouth, so she is pretty sore. X rays were taken and no obvious signs of abcesses were visable behind her eye and she believes her facial swelling was due to irritation of soft tissue. When flushing the duct a small amount of pus came from her nose, and also the tooth which causes the main problems has come loose and also had some pus come from it. We have a referral to Frances Harcourt-Brown on Thursday morning to see what the best way forward is and i have the x rays to take with me.
Since coming home she seems ok in herself, she is holding her head straight now and her eye is not as swollen as before but her third eyelid is very swollen and red in the corner of her eye, her cheek still looks swollen. She started eating voluntarily this morning, she isn't eating a lot at once but she is definatly eating favouring herbs over anything.
She is on the following meds
Tiacil 3 x a day for a corneal ulcer
Loxicom 9kg a day (splitting into two doses, one on a morning, one on an evening)
Baytril 1.2ml 2 x a day
Shes hopping fine, looks alert and i've seen her washing her face and she seems relaxed, has been laid out like she would normally. Shes been out for a hop around this afternoon. She's poo'd a few times but they are very small and hard and seem to get stuck to her bum, but some poo is better than no poo right?
The only thing i haven't seen her do is drink, so she hasn't wee'd. She has a water bottle available and also a bowl of water. I've managed to syringe feed her a bit of water this afternoon. I'm not sure when the last time she had a drink was, but the vet had her on IV fluids during the procedure yesterday. I think she also said she was given some SQ also?
Is there anything else i can do to make her anymore comfortable, and for anyone who has gone through anything similar, any advice? Does she sound like she is doing ok?
Thanks
