Last week my 4 mo. old bun's eyes started turning red with a little bit of watering in one eye so I took her in to be looked at. I walked away with an eye gel (NEO/POLY/BAC) for her conjunctivitis that I have been using twice daily for 5 days. Her eyes are still red but not watery and dont seem to look much different from when I first took her in. The Dr was supposed to call Day 3 to check up on Pino but did not and has not been back in the office since that time. I talked to one of the other Dr's on staff who gave me an oral antibiotic (Trimeth/Sulf .6 ml twice daily 7 days) to use along with the eye gel but she didn't get a look at my rabbit. I was told it might give her diarrhea so was too worried to start the new medicine over the weekend with the office being closed. I've looked online for information about the oral antibiotic but havent found much out. I read that it is rabbit safe but not very effective for the treatment of Snuffles and seems not to be prescribed much anymore. My bun doesn't have nose discharge but she sneezes occasionally and I can hear her breathing sometimes like something is tickling her throat. I wanted to get tested for Snuffles while I was at the office but the Dr. felt it was highly unlikely she had it being that she's a lone indoor rabbit.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with this medicine and if it seemed to help. I dont want to give her anything that is going to make her feel worse especially if it isnt known to give good results.
thank you
