Hi
Norah had a lopsided face and was out of sorts in herself. I took her to the vets and they drained Her tear ducts but I knew something else was going on. I examined Her myself and found a lump behind Norah's ear and took her to my regular vet and they referred Her to the animal hospital. They diagnosed ear infections in both ears , she had a G.A , Her ears flushed and swabs sent away and they lanced the Lump. They did say an operation on both ears would be an option.Swabs came back E coli, so she's on baytril and another antibiotic metradonizole (I think that's how you spell it) fibreplex and metacam. She's been on these for four weeks now and the vet suggested another flush soon. I do not want to go down the operation road, not because I am not a good bunny mum, I do everything for my two bunnies, but Norah is 8 years old and I think 2 operations is just too much for her.. Has anybody had this situation and chose not to operate and managed it another way? The Cost is not an issue. Suffering and pain is a big issue for me. As it stands now she is fine, she eats, skips , chases us, lives a beautiful life with Her husbun, she is fussy with certain foods but she might be like this anyway. I'm not sure what to do for the best. The first vet I spoke to said because of her age she would advise to try every other option rather than surgery, the second vet said surgery would be beneficial but still not 100% curable... I'm confused and would love to hear what other people had done in this situation.
Thank you in advance
