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.
Conscious flush done, more gunk in her eye but not as bad as last time.
We've got Tiacil eye drops, with the weirdest dispenser both me and the vet have seen. One drop three times a day, starting this evening. Sulfatrim orally twice a day. Follow up appointment in 2 weeks, on a very busy day.
We might run out of Tiacil, might have to return to get some more but hopefully not.
Glad their was less gunk this time, does this mean it's an improvement?
I hope she does okay with medication, always easier when it's not a complete fight isn't it? [emoji38]
Poor baby she's lucky she has you though xxWe got to see Z again this afternoon.
Fabala had yet another eye flush. Z has never seen such a reaction to Tiacil before. It was horrible. We have to continue her abx to the same date as before. We also have an eye drop for the inflammation and another abx eye drop to go for 8 weeks. After that we will reassess.
It's possible that her eye will never truly be cleared and thus she might require occasional intervention for life.
