Fern seeing out of hours vet for swollen eye

[Liz47]

She's got an appointment tomorrow morning. She's still antibiotics and metacam but I think she maybe needs more antibiotics since it took 3 types plus surgery last time, whether it's related or not. I think she is a bit quieter in herself

Poor girl. I hope her appointment tomorrow will be helpful, and that you can make a plan for treating it so that it hopefully stays away. Rabbit abcesses are such awful things.

I'm sorry to hear the abscess has returned. I hope it can be defeated quickly this time. Vibes on the way for wee Fern. xxxxx

So sorry to read it returned, yet I hope now that a longer course of abx witt keep it away. Sending vibes for her vet appointment.

Topping up the vibes xx

Ohhh I know thist story. Twice. First in 11/2020 and next 4/2022. Fingers crossed for fast recovery.

 

[Liz47]

Thank you all.
She's booked in on Monday to have it drained, and we'll be starting penicillin injections then too. She also has baytril, metronidazole and metacam.

Really sorry that the abscess has returned. I hope that everything goes well for her on Monday x

Poor Fern I hope the new treatment works for her.

 

[Zoobec]

I hope the treatment works, you are doing everything you can for her xx

 

[bunny momma]

Sending lots of positive vibes that draining and new meds will resolve this issue.

I hope draining the abscess and being on the medications will be enough to get rid of it and keep it from coming back. Sending lots more vibes for Fern.

 

[Liz47]

Thank you everyone

Topping up the vibes. How is she doing in herself? She’s a strong determined rabbit :thumb:

Thank you! She certainly is! I sometimes look at her and think oh she looks a bit sad/she's feeling it, but then others she's eating hay and acting as normal! I think maybe cos the abscess is above her eye it's affecting her facial expression making me think she's not looking good/quite herself, if that makes sense!

Sorry I've not seen the updates. I remember when Noodle had her eye out an abscess formed in the socket. She returned for another op which was totally successful - wishing the same for Fern

I think she does have a stern look about her at times, so hopefully it’s just her glaring at you for taking her to the vets again! Keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well xx

 

[Liz47]

Thank you both. Yes that's true! When the nurse called she said she was ready to go home as being very feisty with them! It's more of an open wound this time, but she seems ok, we have also been given intrasite gel to put in it which I wouldn't have thought of. I don't exactly know what it is, but doesn't contain anything dangerous to rabbits, I think it just aids in wound healing as we dispense it from work for wounds that have opened up a bit etc

Awww Feisty Fern. I hope the aftercare & recovery goes well xx

Sending lots of healing vibes for her.
