Sorry not been on for a few days, so...the latest saga with Joe - over the weekend he wasn't eating still just nibbling and producing enough poops so he was kept in, then yesterday they called to say he's still only nibbling but that good stomach sounds although he now has a sore eye but that they think he'd be better off at home in familiar surroundings, so we went to pick him up last night but when they bought him through his eye was bulging right out of his head, he looked awful and they said actually it had got worse and it would be best to keep him in again for another 24 hours. They're going to get an eye specialist to look at it today but they think possibly where the bristle had pierced his soft pallett it's got infected and there may be an abcess behind the eye :shock:
So it was lovelt to see him and give him lots of kisses but so sad to see him like that.
Am I right in thinking rabbits can't take antibiotics?
He's on 5 medications to the metoclopramide, zantac, baytril and 2 others i can't remember the name sof but i think they're antiinflammatories.
We have followed the vets advice and got him a ladyfriend, she's an 8/9 weeks old Netherland Dwarf called Jess and she's absolutely gorgeous - we're going to have to leave it a week or two after he's fully back to normal before we start trying to bond them but she has her own house and everything and so he doesn't have to know she exists until we're happy he's fully healthy. I've got some piccies of her so i shall have to try and add them on to my signature .
