Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
I thought it might not be a common problem that many had experienced. xx
She reported a large amount of nasty debris had flushed through, so the flush was a success. Now we have to continue with the eye ointment for another week and take him back again in 7 days. I am guessing that if the problem re-occurs, then she may have to do the skull x-ray to check his roots, but I am also hopeful that she may have cleared the remains of some sort of infection. For the first time in 2 weeks the fur beneath his eye is dry tonight -so fingers crossed that it stays that way.
