Lots of vibes

Poor Wilson

Some of my Buns cant tolerate Tiacil and it actually aggrevates things. Fucithalmic seems to be more soothing.

Also, do you use artificial tears in his eyes a few times a day ? Especially in the 'down eye'

I hope his poorly eye gets better soon and that there is no ulceration involved.

We've used fucithalmic before Jane in other buns, but not with Wilson - so will mention this tomorrow to see if it would be a better option. I must admit though I wasn't aware of artificial tears Is this something the vet prescribes or can they be bought independently?

I hope it doesn't ulcerate as well

You can buy artificial tears otc if your Vet agrees that Wilson should have them

Here's an explanation of 'dry eye'

We're back from the vets & Wilson has done so well bless him He didn't have one rolling episode at all & managed to balance himself upright in his carrier all the time

We've got fucithalmic to put in twice a day & artificial tear drops to put in his 5 times a day, as well as continuing with metacam & panacur. It wasn't Jane that saw him, but the vet that saw him didn't want to put him on antibiotics just yet. He wanted to see if he improved without them - we're back on Tuesday to see Jane for a check & take things from there.

Fingers crossed our brave little lad's eye improves for the better without needing anything drastic.

I am so pleased that they managed to help him! I hope his eye improves now.

Glad it was good news.

We have only used fucithalmic on Dinky. We are hoping if she does need the op for removal she will be OK as she had a huge OP last summer for abscess removal and spay at the same time. She came through the GA fine but unfortunately the vet thinks this has really affected her immune system which is why she is having repeated infections and mites

Dave finishes his panacur tomorrow and will no longer be on any meds so we now have to decide whether to risk castrating him or having him as a single bunny for the rest of his life :?

I hope Wilson's eye will be feeling better very soon:wave:

Hope it clears up without the antibiotics xx

 

[Jack's-Jane]

Hopefully the new eye treatments will help

I know it's so, so difficult to decide what to do for the best isn't it Liz?

Poor Dinky I hope that her eye clears up eventually & that you don't have to opt for removal of it

How is Dave doing in himself at the moment Liz? Have your vets given any indication as to whether to castrate him or not?

Sending snuggles for them both xx

Thanks Abbie, just been putting Wilson's artificial tears in again - it looks a little less red, but is still very weepy
