Hi,
Our little girl (Mini-lop) is suffering with an on going ear infection since October, having recovered from an initial infection back in 2013. We use a well regarded rabbit savvy vet and have been using metacam & oral antibiotics (Baytril) on and off since October, with regular ear flushes. We took her back to the vets recently due her crunching her teeth and they have advised ear surgery to expose the ear canal is most likely the next step as her ear canals are very narrow.
She is now on pain relief and has a CT scan scheduled for this week to see how far the infection goes so surgery can be planned.
Naturally we want her to be happy and healthy, does anyone have any experience with having this kind of surgery and the chances of success?
