Duplocillin (for abscesses) - experiences wanted!

I'd love to hear from anyone who's used duplocillin for the treatment of their bunnies abscesses.

Specifically the dosage and how effective this was; where the abscess was and how bad the abscess was. It'd be interesting to hear whether the bacteria had demonstrated a resistance to the normal injectable procaine depocillin and whether the duplocillin was effective even despite this resistance.

Hopefully some people have some experiences to share!
 
I looked up Duplocillan because I didn't know what is was and is seems to be Bicillin. You might want to go back to your title and change it to Dublocillan/Bicillin because I think lots of people have probably used Bicillin and don't know its also called Duplocillan.

I haven't used it, I used azithromycin to treat my rabbits that had snuffles symptoms and it worked. Bicillin was the next thing my vet was going to try if the azithromycin didn't work.

There's a really long post on Rabbits online titled "Lump under chin". Very good photos of treatment. The person was given Bicillin for a large abscess, and had to pack the abscess with honey for several months, the Bicillin worked really well and the abscess was almost completely gone, but then the rabbit got another small abscess, so last post I read he was starting another antibiotic because the vet worried the bacteria was growing resistance to the bicillin. But the bicillin worked really well on the first abscess.
