parsnipbun
Wise Old Thumper
Mulberry started having one ear down about a week ago (usually an ears up bun). He is prone to nerves and I thought it might just be that or heat - anyway after it did not improve over a couple of days I took him to the vet and she says she can see puss in his middle ear in one ear. The other is clear.
He is on Baytril once a day (double dose once a day as very very nervy and can go into stassis if has to be caught much.).
However the ear is not going back up and I can see just a smidgeon of his third eyelid so i suspect it is not working.
We will go back on Tuesday. the vet is rabbit savvy and I have every confidence - but personally have no experience of middle ear infections. His teeth are good and he is very healthy otherwise - and still eating and running around (although always nervy).
Anyone ever had a bun with a middle ear infection? What might I expect next? Can this get serious - should we try something more aggressive despite his nerves?
Is a test of the puss a good idea?
