Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. 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.
Thanks so much everyone.
Her 2 teeth sitting behind the cavity (where 2 teeth mysteriously disappeared) are really deformed, flat & growing under the soft tissue of her mouth The cavity is actively discharging smelly pus in to her mouth. Together with her spur induced ulcer she has a lot to cope with
Are you still injecting with the pen?

No - she finished after a month. We've given antibiotics a really good go - 3 kinds. Heather doesn't feel they are helping (I agree)

Oh gosh that sounds scary. Glad you have Heather and specialist input though, at least you know you have the best for whatever she faces. It really does sound like it needs experienced management.
Poor Boo it sounds like a good move, moving to Crab Lane vets. I hope they will be able to make her more comfortable, and get rid of the infection.
Definitely :thumb:I hope so too. Its good that talk is now about identifying & removing the cause of the infection, not just treating the infection itself.
I'm very happy she is under CL's care. Heather is wonderful & Boo definitely needs the best we can get her. You were a huge help - thank you
Glad to be of help. I had a similar realisation with Elijah. The journey can be challenging but it's so worth it.
