Sorry it has been a while since an update, I was poorly myself for a little while. Once the operation for eye removal was cancelled it was recommended that we have him pts as soon as possible as he was suffering and we booked the appointment very reluctantly for the Saturday of that week (23rd...

The vet just rang me at work and said that she had rung a specialist and they had said that they would not recommend the surgery as it is most likely an abscess behind the eye and that removing it would not solve the issue, they have cancelled the appointment for Monday. They have said that the...

Hello Everyone. Thanks for the replies - this is what I wanted to hear I just didn’t want to put my boy through too much. The wound from the abscess is healing nicely with no weeping or anything and everyone is surprised how well it has healed and how he has taken everything in his stride (I...

Just come back from the vet for our second P injection - I have persuaded them to hopefully let me inject myself at home next week. The bad news is his eye does not look any better and is very dry with an infection inside and most likely under the eye. We are now looking at taking the eye out...

I have injectable penicillin! We have an appointment every day so that they can inject. She was suprised how well the wound looked and was just worried as his eye was very dry, it is still quite swollen and has a film over it. She has given us isotal eye drops for this which will hopefully help.

Aww thanks :love:

Thanks :D He is on 0.5 ml once daily.

I am going for a post op check up tonight and I will definitely request injectable penacillin, I have done a little bit of homework on it over the weekend ;) The wound is looking really good and healthy at the moment and he is eating a little on his own although he doesn't appear to be ready for...

Just thought I would do a little update. Alfie came round quite well from the anaesthetic this time and was lively quite quickly. He has an open wound of about 2cm diameter on his lower jaw which we are washing daily and which is protected by a buster collar. What I didn’t expect when I picked...

Aww I hope your bunny feels better soon :? Sending vibes

Thanks everyone :D I will ask about injectable penicillin when I go to pick him up tonight. He is going to be on metacam, an anti inflammatory and he is to continue on the Baytrill. I will ask the vet tonight if I should put him on a gut stimulant when he gets home to make sure he does not get...

Hello :wave: Alfie went in this morning for an x ray. I've just called the vet and they said that there is no evidence of broken bones or fractures on the x ray and that he had a lot of swollen tissue around the lower jaw and behind the eye. This was found to be an abscess which they have now...

Okay thanks so much everyone, its really helpful to get everyone's advice on this :). I will update after the x rays tomorrow. Fingers crossed for the little Mister!

I will try this, I feel like a bit of sweet stuff my entice him. The critical feed must taste bad as Debbie, my other one won't touch it and there are very few things she wont (at least try) to eat!

Aww thanks :love: I will make sure he has lots of food today, the critical care packet says to feed a packet a day and he has had about a third this morning so I will try and finish the packet over a few sittings tonight. I do have quite a collection of gut stimulants at home, would you say to...

I called the vet and spoke to the vet and explained everything to her, she said that the next stage will have to be an x ray as there is nothing further they can do without this and that I can bring him in tomorrow to get this done. I asked if there was any way they could do this without...

I will call the vet today and try and get a second opinion :D thanks for the advice guys :love: He is mostly being syringe fed with a little crushed up museli mix in the morning. He will not eat any pellets with water or the critical care by himself.

Do you think it would be a good idea for me to get an X ray of the jaw done? :)

Hello :wave: She just said it felt like it was inflamed and that it might be an infection. When I feel it it just feels like there is more muscle on one side of the jaw than the other, but I do not really know what to look for. He does not seem to flinch too much when I touch it and the swelling...

Alfie has been in the baytrill and increased metacam for two days. This does not seem to have made a great deal of difference so far although he did eat some very crushed burgess pellets last night, this morning he would not eat anything, although still interested, and I had to feed him critical...
