Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
It refilled the next day. The vet prescribed a tiny dose of baytril and I continued to bath it and after 4 days it had stopped producing pus and the ulceration (it was completely opaque when it opened) went after a week. The vet had not expected it to clear up. Now he only has a tiny white dot in his eye. He also had an abnormal fur pattern with none around his head or on parts of his body. Two of his litter mates were the same but they have now got full coats and have grown well. He is a tiny runt At 2 and a half months he is no bigger than a baby of 4 weeks :? Baytril is not good for young animals but the vet decided the infection was so bad it was warranted, however his lack of growth could be attributed to this. He has since had a nasty white nasal discharge and had to have another course of baytril Such a sweet heart though.
