Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. 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.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
Think it went a bit better today even if catching the little hooligan is starting to be a challenge.
Thanks for the tips
Quick question though - if Sylvester is sneezing afterwards I take it that's a good sign that the drops are getting through the tear duct? His incisors were checked during the exam and there weren't any problems.

Sneezing can sometimes occur as the medication drains into the nasolacrimal duct. It means that the duct is draining-ie not blocked
Great, that's definitely an improvement then
Jason the vet tried to do a tear duct flush when Sylvester saw him but was only able to get a very small amount of pus out. So glad I live close to a rabbit vet, makes life a lot easier.
Multiple rabbits + 28 days?! One rabbit is bad enough but multiple.....eeeck!
Edit: Forgot to say that I'm waiting on the results of a bacterial culture (should be ready Wednesday) so I can double check then but I'm guessing that it will be a minimum of 10 days from last Friday seeing as that's when the follow up appointment will be.
