How is she doing? I keep.following your threads because you seem to be going through a similar thing to us.
And i've just found one on the base of charlie's ear too
Sending vibes
Oh no. I'm gutted for you too.
She's actually doing fine, I guess she doesn't know she has an abscess. She's on painkillers and antibiotics and currently eating hay and sunbathing. I'm just keeping an eye on it and hoping we don't have to operate.
How old is Charlie? Smoo getting to be an old girl and that coupled with the fact that she has the recurring jaw abscess means we're not rushing into anything like operating. If this was her only abscess I think it would be different, but personally I don't see the point in operating when she's just going to get more or it;s going to come back.
Grim had two jaw abscesses that were operated on and never came back, so if he had one I would rush him it to get it removed as soon as I could. I think you just have to take it on a bunny by bunny basis.
Thanks... we've got an appointment in the hour, just to check and talk it through.
I'm pleased Smoo seems ok.
Charlie seems fine too, eating loads and getting up to mischief. He's about three or four but I have no idea what we'll do... he's got the one on his jaw which is looking much better but it runs through to inside his mouth which wasn't looking great at check up last week. His initial x rays showed his mouth is a total disaster area... he had several very small pockets of pus dotted around. I don't know whether this at the base oh his ear is one of those or a new one :? We were hoping the antibiotics might be enough on those, but this seems to have come up despite that.
