Hello All, Well, I have now been to see a regular vet ( eye exam and medications $235), a veterenarian opthalmologist ($150) and an avian & exotic animal specialist ($100). All of them tell me the enucleation (eye removal @ $1000-$1500) is the best option for Beau's quality of life. The...

Follow-up appointment changed to tommorrow...will keep you posted.

NorthAutumn, thanks for the link . I saw that one too but good idea to print it out!

Onetwothree thank you so much for the article on dogs...I thought I had searched the whole internet but hadn't seen that. I will print it out so I know the lingo before the appointment tomorrow. And, Wendymac, that is exactly the question I need to ask! I need to know if the Aqueus and/or...

You are NorthernAutumn, I am completely gutted about this. If it were any other time other than after Christmas I would be able to spare more money. I did not take getting a rabit lightly and knew the responsibility but this is the worst time of year for my bank account! I know that...

Thanks for your added posts. I don't mind the dissention as I am welcoming any and all opinions right now. I understand that a laceration is worse than an ulcer. Beau has both actually. I guess I don't really understand why a corneal laceration can't heal itself. That said, I am indeed...

Sorry to bother everyone again....but I need to get someone's advice. I was at the vets on Thursday and I just got a call today, Monday, saying that I should bring Beau back in tomorrow to be looked at by the vet. That is only 5 days he has been on the medication. Do you not think that's a...

Bunchofbuns, it is so great to hear from you. Thanks for your post. You are correct, we are using the same vet! They never really talked to me about what happens after this course of medication? The vet didn't even suggest a follow up visit??She basically said this type of injury will not heal...

Hi A-Berry, I know, I got the feeling that the vet had dollar signs in his eyes. Beau hasn't shown any signs of discomfort except that he closes his left eye and if I go to pet him he sometimes jerks his head away. I've learned to approach him from the side with the good eye. Thanks for your...

I will, thanks jujub. I gave him his meds this morning. I think he knows it's coming now and he doesn't like it one bit but I got them into him. Did your rabbit keep the bad eye closed most of the time as it was healing? At what point did he stop squinting or keeping it closed? Do you...

By the way, no worries on the double post...I read it over twice anyway :)

JuJub...thank you so much for giving me some hope. I was a bit surprised too that they would want to remove the eye right away. I just couldn't do that to Beau. I'm so worried about him though...I cried like a baby all last night. Now just trying to buck up and hope for the best.

Thanks LakeCondo for your opinion. I appreciate it.

I'm so sad right now :( My bunny Beau was scratched in the eye by my sister's cat. I've had him to a vet and a vet/opthalmologist. This was the diagnosis: Corneal laceration with some iris prolapse-lens lacerated and some expuslsion into anterior chamber I'm really scared as the vets both said...
