Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Ear infection / abscess on foot / baytril / holidays / bad timing!

Rosie is on Baytril for Ear Infection and as an aside, to treat an Abscess on side of her Paw.

Neither problem seems to be particularly bothering her - she is her jolly self at the moment (although the ear infection was causing awful symptoms at the outset), (she is also on daily, long term metacam), but the timing for this is awful as she is going into holiday boarding on Monday for 12 days.

The boarding place will continue to medicate, thankfully .. but I am concerned whether either problem will escalate whilst we are away.

Do you think Baytril is ok for the paw abscess? What would you advise at this stage, to ensure I have done my utmost for her wellbeing whilst I am away? Is the Abscess likely to clear :?
