Hi all, was wondering if anyone could help...
At the end of December my rabbit started holding her leg funny, kinda out to the side a bit and stretched out (sort of like when they are cleaning their foot ? If you get what I mean) I obviously took her to the vets and they started her on metacam, this didn't help any . So back we went, this time they added in tramadol, still nothing. We took xrays but nothing was seen on them & gabapentin was added in . She started to improve and we started dropping out meds, first the tramadol, then metacam & finally gabapentin. Anyway she's been off all her meds for about a month, I came in from work last week and she was doing it again but this time it was worse she didn't seem to be putting any weight on it , she was hopping on 3 legs & even when she was sitting she is holding it off the.ground . She was put straight back on gabapentin but it doesn't seem to be doing anything I spoke to our usual bunny vet on friday (as she's also havin an issue with her ear atm) we decided to add a few things in. Currently she's on gabapentin, metacam, penicillin inj (for her ear) 28 day course of panacur & fibreplex to help her guts cope I assume ? Nothing seems to be doing anything she currently in her cage grinding her teeth, my poor little soldier, any advice would be greatly appreciated
Sorry about the long post..
