Hi everyone! I've posted about my bunny before, he's had a reoccurring eye discharge since last April. He's about 7 or 8 and the discharge is milky. Previous Thread
1st vet visit - Given eye drops, Gentamicin Sulfate Ophthalmic Solution USP, .3%.
2nd vet visit (November) - He had stomach issues and his eye issue wasn't a priority, but he was sent home with medication (Baytril). I also got more Gentamicin from a vet a few days before.
3rd visit (just over a week ago) - He was acting strange and not eating, so I took him in. He stayed for 2 nights and came home with Baytril (he was perfectly fine after the overnight stay). We scheduled another appointment for a sedation and tooth trimming to take care of the eye issue.
4th Visit (today) - Just got a call from the vet and his teeth looked pretty good. I told them to X-Ray him if they felt it was necessary and they did, found nothing abnormal. They did flush his nasal area (he's been sneezing) and are sending him home with anti-inflammatory medication. He will be rechecked on friday.
I'm wondering if you think the current course of treatment sounds good. Also, if teeth aren't an issue, what is likely the cause of the discharge? If it is an infection, why didn't any of the antibiotics work and why did his body not fight it off (a year is along time to have an infection)?
Thank You!
