Hi Have any of you dealt with an abscess in a front foot? If so what was the treatment, did you have it lanced and flushed or did antibiotics help? My Frenchie Giselle (with the sore hocks) has now developed an abscess in her front foot :-( Started with a nail bed infection. Had a needle...

Hi I'm interested to know what folks use for sore hocks. My bun Giselle is a 6 yr old french lop. She has arthritis and therefore weight bears on her hocks, complicated also due to her size. Initially the hocks were scabbed and had been bleeding. So we started her on septrin and topical...

Hi I'm just trying to find out more information on corvental as Fandango has been prescribed it. From a quick search on here (the only ref on a google search!) I see the doses vary quite a lot. For those that have used it what dose were you using and did you have any side effects. Many thanks...

Hi guys I posted a while back about my 10yr old bun who has been having episodes of turning and nystagmus. His treatment began with metacam, panacur and baytril, we then switched antibiotic to septrin and then depocillin - we did this as his frequent relapses may have meant he had middle ear...

Hi, I'm hoping for someone who has had a similar experience with regard to a relapse in vestibular symptoms after stopping baytril... More info... My 10yr old bun started showing signs of vestibular illness the day after he lost his partner :cry: he started off scanning and then began to circle...

How do you calculate the amount of CC you feed? Just looked at the packet and the volume looks huge! Ive been feeding between 60 and 80ml a day for a 1.7kg bun. According to the packet its 3tblsp per kg so thats 9 tsp per kg and I reckon on 1tsp per 15ml. So that would be 135 a day - is that...

After recovering from a two week long episode of stasis Daisy relapsed on Friday. She is now stable and on prokinetics, pain relief and critical care feed. She relapsed just after eating a pile of forage, was lying on her side in pain. I rushed her to the vet and her heart and lungs were ok and...

... and what can I do? My boy Fandango is having off days, tonight he didn't want his metacam and is just sitting quietly... I'm so worried :cry: How do I know if its the tumour or the onset of stasis? What can I do for him? I did manage to get him to take is metacam and Ive left him sitting...

This might sound like a daft question, but is there a best place in the car for a carrier? A less stressful one? Due to the size of the carrier (Atlas 40) I currently have seats down and use the boot but am wondering of the front seat is a less noisy option? Where do you put your carriers?

Hi Some of you may have read my posts about my bun Fandango with rapid belly breathing and the various treatment options etc. His X ray has now been reviewed by an exotics expert and shows his heart to be slightly enlarged. A further lateral sedated X ray was suggested but I'm not keen due to...

Anyone ever used them? I've got a bun who hates the taste and smell of metacam solution and wondered if these might be worth a shot. He will take meds hidden in shreddies so long as there isn't a strong smell. Anyone?

Can anyone help me please? I'm looking for the content list of Depocillin and Dupophen, I'm not sure Ive spelled the latter correctly :? I need to find out the difference, my vet did say but I forgot and I have since find out that there are more problems with dupophen (sp?) and if this is the...

A question for those who have used Zithromax for respiratory conditions - did you finish course and stop or tailor off? I've heard that it is more effective if given every day for a week then every other day for another week. We've only just started it so not got as far as discussing that with...

Hi Please can anyone who has a rabbit on this drug tell me what your dose is and the reasons for being on it. I'm asking as I have conflicting information from different sources. I WILL NOT be changing my dose on your answers, but discussing findings with my vet. The dose rate I have from...

As some of you may have read I lost my beautiful conti Jasper before Christmas :cry: I am looking for a partner for his friend Giselle who is 2ish. They lived next to each other due to fights but she still misses him and I want her to have the chance to be bonded with a husbun. I am not...

My gorgeous boy, my heart is broken :( its been 4 days since you left me, I miss you more each day that passes. I tried to help you, to save you, took you to a specialist vet to find answers for your weakness. We hoped an MRI scan would show us the way forward but it wasn't meant to be and you...

I've got an appointment for tomorrow for my poorly Jasper

Hi, not posted on here for ages - apologies. I really need to know experiences of people who have had hind leg weakness in their bun. My conti has always had weak rear limbs due to confinement to a small hutch before he was rescued. In recent weeks he had degenerated rapidly and lost weight. He...
