Dill has been struggling with some kind of infection in his lungs for several months now.
Initially attempted to treat with Baytril & Bisolvon but it wasn't working so he's been on depocillin injections and bisolvon for 3-4 months now.
We got him relatively stable on injections every 3 days but 2 weeks ago he got really bad (2 weeks after having the myxi vaccine - single one) so went to alternate days with depocillin, a 5 day course of baytril injections plus metacam as well as the usual bisolvon. He was picking up quite well but in the last 24 hours seems to be getting slightly worse again.
We are going to the vet later but I want some more treatment ideas - our vet is very good but I know there is a wealth of experience on here, particularly using slightly 'unconventional' treatments (or not licensed on rabbits!).
Any ideas what else we could be doing/trying to help him?
Unfortunately a C&S is not possible as there isn't any discharge through his nose. He had an x-ray (conscious) a couple of months ago which didn't show anything sinister, but some slight scarring in his lungs.
He's an outdoor bun with a hutch/aviary that he enjoys bouncing about in and normally has 24 hour access. With this latest episode we moved his hutch into the garage (not used for a car) but can't move his run in with him so he's getting pretty bored too - and he can't see Goose & Willow next door so I think he's a bit lonely. We'd like to get him back outside for quality of life reasons but need to get better control of his illness first.
