Hi
I wrote recently about patch my 8 year old rabbit who has been receiving treatment for possible E.C.
His treatment is up next week - 28 day course of antibiotics, panacur and metacam. He is back at the vet tomorrow morning to get checked over, nails clipped etc. He has been doing well, although he has days were it seems quite bad. I tried to take him off the metacam when it was nearly finished however the following day he was really tilted to one side and that twitch in the eye was also bad so the vet agreed to let me carry on with metacam.
Im just wondering what is next? I assume the antibiotics and panacur have killed any parasite or infection? So hopefully preventing any further damage. I'm unsure about him coming off all the meds completely, is there a chance he can stay on metacam or is that not good for rabbits?
Also I am off on holiday for 5 days at the beginning of May and if he still needs medication each day I'm going to need to find someone to look after him properly, does anyone know of any boarding in Edinburgh, West Lothian or Fife area or anyone who could help with this?
Thanks all
