Glad that she made it through difficult surgery! Sounds like you have a good vet !! let us know how she continues to progress!!!

You don't have to cover it with a bandage . Just apply a thin film of Neosporin to it and she should be fine. No need to repeatedly apply Neosporin Next time something like this occurs you can clean it with a cotton ball or Q tip with very diluted betadine solution ( so it is a very light...

I don't know if this is true in Canada but many horse owners here use Marquis/ Ponazuril and since it is very expensive it is often easier to get a small amount from a horse owner ( if you are lucky to know one. ). I know that Dana Krempels has explained ( On All Experts) how to dose it using...

I have used bicillin injections many times for various bacterial problems with my rabbits. I needed it to use it on a chronic basis with a holland lop who had severe periodontal disease and infected tooth roots. I also have used it for URI's and also for inner ear infections...very...

Good thinking , Claire!! I read about horizontal and vertical nystagmus but didn't think to apply the knowledge when I watched the video:great:

I have a Facebook friend who was a member of this website and recently had radiation done on her rabbit for a thyoma. I believe that it was the a similar protocol in that the rabbit had 3 treatments maybe spaced 1-2 weeks apart. She may be on RabbitsOnline Facebook . As far as I know her rabbit...

I would keep him on the Panacur for now as long as it is working well and he is improving. If you want to present the possibility of Marquis/Ponazuril to your vet it is best for you to have knowledge of it Your self We have an inactive moderator (ra7751) who is a wild life rehabber and works...

Here are links on EC from our library. Take the time to go through them. http://www.rabbitsonline.net/f22/e-cuniculi-encephalitozoon-12817/ it sounds like you have been handling things well with him up to this point. Without a titer the positive response to the fenbendazole (Panacur)...

Sometimes a bun can get urine scald issues if the surface he is sitting on is not consistently kept dry and clean or if he has nothing absorbent beneath him in a cage. if those issues are Ok I agree that leaking urine, or being soiled by urine, is a medical issue that should be dealt with by...

I was at a county fair last weekend and asked a breeder about one of her rabbits who had both an erect and loppy ear. She called it "summer ear" and attributed it to the heat; something I never knew!

First of all I want to let you know that I have never personally treated a rabbit with either head tilt caused by a bacterial infection or head tilt caused by EC. My info, therefore, is from reading from reliable sources but not first hand info. I would recommend that you run all info through...

This medi-rabbit chart has the dosage of meloxicam(metacam) but with that size tab you are going to need to cut it up. http://www.medirabbit.com/Safe_medication/Analgesics/safe_analgesics.htm I could not paste Dr. Charks Drug dose calculator for rabbit but you can google it for...

I always just took the ill rabbit to the vet alone and then brought the body home where I would place it in 'their area" . I have rabbits that groomed the deceased partner ( heartbreaking) and rabbits who just sniff the body and then leave it. It is extremely important that the remaining...

I don't understand the 3 day antibiotic protocol at all unless they were high doses and even then I don't understand the rationale behind it. I ,too would consider the Panacur at this point if the antibiotics have been stopped. It is difficult to discern your vets plan. ???? I feel sad for you...

I am so very sorry ; this is so sad ! ((hugs)) RIP Poppet ! You were loved ! Maureen

This info hopefully will help . Stasis is not something where you can "wait and see" http://www.rabbitsonline.net/f22/gi-stasis-what-everyone-should-know-23808/

Sorry we posted at the same time. I forget that we are in another time zone.

As far as I know you can give simethicone even with the reglan; simethicone is not absorbed by the body but jus tbreaks down gas bubbles. I agree that your rabbit need fluids ;is there anyway that you could go to any vet who could give you the equipment to do it yourself. It would be a bag of...

I also remember someone stating that chloramphenicol and penicillin should not be used together but then I also recall that Sas's vet , Dr Martinez uses chloramphenical (chlorpalm ) and benzathine penicillin for a lot of bunny infections. As I recall one drug decreases the potency of the other...
