Has any body any experience with abscesses in the ear
I took him to the vets last night as of the current situation I wasn’t allowed in with him but he was gone a good 20 mins so I don’t know exactly what was done but guessing she looked in his ears. They mentioned ct scan. She has put him on baytrill and metacam we have to go back Sunday
I’ve had a quick look will read properly when I’m home later. He has the eye rolling and the only way I can describe him acting is disorientated/confused
its not ec.
I only have leroy now, My poor Tom didn’t make it he was a rescue only had him in August aswel as ec I think he had something else going on. I did everything I could for him still heartbroken x
He had a check up yesterday and she said he had improved slightly from the time b4 but he stayed in for x rays. its confirmed there are changes with the bone at the base of the ear and fluid he is still on antibiotics and she is sending x rays and notes off to a rabbit specialist at the rabbit welfare association
i took him to another vet thursday i think it was for a second opinion and she said it was a middle/inner ear infection and wanted to have him in friday flush his ear out make a hole in ear drum insert a tube and drain fluid, but ive seen on the x ray with our normal vet its the base of the ear.
