My 8 year old dwarf lop Molly is recovering from surgery to remove an abscess from the base of her ear. It's the third abscess she has had in the same place each time in six months. This time the abscess was small to feel from the outside but went deep to her skull. Molly's facial nerve was damaged during the operation and at this stage the vet cannot say whether the damage is permanent or not.
She will be on antibiotics for the rest of her life and she is currently having metacam for pain too. Molly is eating, drinking and pooping fine but that's it. She is just sitting in the same place all the time looking old and tired. She is a house rabbit and has her own room. Right now I feel that her quality of life is very poor, the light has gone out in her eyes. I don't know what to do for her. I don't want her to go to the bridge but I hate to see her suffering. I can't really explain to the vet that she's just not right although she is a very bunny savvy vet, Gill at Windlesham.
Any advice would be great. Thanks for reading.
