I've used the eye drops for eye infections in my buns. I've also used the eye drops applied in the ears for ear infections.

Does this rabbit still need somewhere to go? I've read through the thread, but don't really understand the situation

Bowed which way?

I have buns here at the sanctuary with front legs bowed inwards like a bulldog (Pudding) and outwards like a seal (Meg).

Pudding manages to live a totally normal life and...

I had a rabbit with neurological problems (she had seizures) who would pull her claws out. I'm sure it wasn't a behavioural/boredom issue for her.

I'm sure once a week won't be enough, even with a long acting penicillin. My vet only advises once weekly penicillin for rabbits who are currently fine but have a history of recurring infection or...

I've used it a lot, and find it to be one of the best antibiotics for infections with lots of puss. Apparently it can cause digestive upsets, but I haven't had a problem with this (so far). I've had...

Abscesses at the base of the ear are most likely to be both internal AND external. They usually start off as a nasty inner/middle ear infection, and eventually come up as an abscess visible...

Surgical removal is the best bet (if it can be done).

The best antibiotic I've found for ear infections has been oral Zithromax (Azithromycin)...which isn't licensed for animal use as far as I...

My Herman had a growth affecting his intestines. We think it was an abscess because he had a recurring abscess on his face too (not dental or injury related). We decided not to open him up because it...

Not sure I fully understand the question/situation.

By stomach, do you actually mean stomach...or do you mean an abscess in the abdomen area?

I'm not sure I'd operate on an abscess on/in the...

Try pulling the skin upwards to 'tent' it more. I find the penicillin wont come out if I haven't tented the skin enough and the needle ends up sticking into the skin on the other side, rather than in...

I'm so sorry Jill. Binky free Totti x :(

Also...I just wanted to say that abscesses in the chest area have a much better prognosis than ones around the head/jaw :)

If complete removal of the abscess capsule isn't possible, then you'll need to do what Kermit said and lance it to remove the pus, then clean it out thoroughly and pack with Manuka honey or...

I'm not sure about an answer to your question because it would depend on whether the pus is wet or dried, how much pus, etc. Don't suppose you have any photos showing Grim's eyes?

I just wanted...

Ditto what prettylupin and others have said, but I'd also get the vet to check her over for bladder or kidney problems. In my experience both bladder and kidney disease cause loss of muscle around...

My experience with wildies is that they can be quite aggressive, so introducing this little one to other rabbits or back to the wild needs to be done really carefully.

IMO the ONLY way a return...

Wilford Rabbit Refuge have Pancake up for rehoming. He's a lively, active boy and would love a home with a girly bun for company.

Pancake is approximately 2 years old, medium sized and in...

Glad you've seen some improvement...that's got to be a good sign :D

If you don't have pet insurance, you might find that it's much cheaper to get a prescription for zithromax and buy it from a...

Is your bun on metacam? Metacam helps reduce inflamation so would be a big help.

Plus you can get anti-vertigo medication called Stemetil which will help if she's rolling (falling over because...

Head tilt/loss of balance is very common with ear infections. If there is pus visible in the ear it may be possible to culture it to find a suitable antibiotic. I've personally had very good results...

You've just found out the truth about wildies I'm afraid...they turn into horrible little hooligans as soon as they reach sexual maturity :lol: Sorry I shouldn't laugh :oops:

I'm generally in favour of the rabbit showjumping because I think it shows the public that rabbits are active intelligent creatures capable of being trained, not just stuck in a hutch and forgotten...

Do you mean he is struggling to get away, or just that he clamps his mouth shut so you can't get the syringe in?

If he's going nutty trying to get away, perhaps let him calm down for a bit and try...

The only experience of low white blood cell count (leukopenia) in rabbits was due to a heavy worm burden. My vet said cancer or severe infection often leads to leukopenia too though.
