Hi All
Really need some advice.
My rabbit is getting treated for EC/ear infection....already written a very long post about this.
Well a few weeks ago I noticed he had a soft lump near his ankle. Off we went to the vet and i was rold it was a pocket of fluid from the joint and harmless!
Well tonight i lifted him to give his meds before bed and noticed the lump is leaking clear fluid and there was a tuft of hair sticking out so i pulled it not realising its coming from the lump! :shock:
I pulled a bit more to check and its def coming from inside the soft lump with a bit of clear fluid. No pus in site at all though.
He has rolled more today...compared to the last few days that is.His balance seems worse.
So i called the vet who does his acupunctiure as the on call vet is a 30 min journey and he cant even do vet visits as he continually rolls
She said it sounds like a cyst. However, given that he is very unstable health wise she thinks its not a good idea taking him to the vet on call as he basically lies on his side and rolls when outside my house...this is due to the ec/ear infection. And the last time i called them they suggested just pts as it would b much easier than caring for him and trying to treat him
So I am basically waiting it out till monday and i am now terrified of leaving him alone tonight. Was told that as long as he is eating,peeing and pooping then get him to my vet on Monday morning. As if i took him to the oncall vet they prob couldnt give me anything more than he is on.He is on penicillin injections,metacam and metoclopramide so she feels they probably couldnt offer anything else.
I am now a nervous wreck
If anyone has any idea what this could be plkease let me know.
I am sick with worry now that after 6 weeks something is going to happen to him
Looks like its bunny watch on the sofa for me again.
Just when things were starting to show improvement...this happens
thanks
Leesa.
