Dolly - Possible cylap rection?...u/d post# 21 & 23 - back from the vets with baytril

u/d second patch

I've been woken up just now by my mum clutching a wriggling black bunny!

Mum went to say good morning to the buns before she went to work this morning. She found another patch on Dolly :( just when i thought she was lucky enough to get away with a minor reaction!!

I'm going to call the vets after breakfast and demand an appointment for this evening. I just hope its not going to get any worse, its been 4 days since her VHD now.

On the plus side, shes still her same old naughty self and has just managed to find her way into the end of my duvet!! :roll:

Fingers Crossed!
 
shes also able to get at this patch and lick/chew it, as is her husbun, Marley. Should i seperate them or put a sock on her or something? Dont want it spreading/getting worse.
 
u/d #2

Im kind of frustrated, but i dont know what to do about it.

My vet is forein and i dont know if theres a language barrier or if he was simply talking a load of ****.

When i suggested that it could be a reaction to the cylap he told me that hes never heard of or seen this after the usign cylap. I asked him if he sees a lot of rabbits and he said yes. :shock: hes either lying or really inexperienced. He said its a skin infection that was caused when the needle went into the rabbit! I suppose its possible but all the evidence points to a reaction!!! grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! :roll: ..oh he also added "its a bacterial skin infection, like eczma that can be passed on" what a moron, eczma IS NOT contagious and i dont believe its a bacterial infection either.

Typical me forgot to take the list of side effects and the report that id printed off and now im kicking myself for not turning around, but i was already running late.

Anyway we came back with a weeks supply of baytril and an even balder rabbit after a close shave with the clippers. Im glad that it wasnt anything serious like stasts *touch wood* but i really wouldnt want to take her to him if it was something life threatening. :?

I might forward the study and the side effects to him, but i cant remember his name, it was a long and complicated one!
 
I have PM'd you, please feel free to print out my report and take it with you! Dolly's reaction photos are very similar to what several of my buns had.
