Honey has been slowing down with food so Laura thought its best to sort it out asap. We went for dental yesterday. She recovered well but not eating straight away, very sleepy. Next time do it on a Friday so that I can look after her over the weekend.
The abscess is behaving but it's still there.
Some goo came out through some glands at the front of the nose, not the nostril but kinda sort of below where the split is. Continuing Metacam, Septrin and Metronidazole. Honey has been slow with food so Laura thinks its best to bring her in for dental before she stops eating.
So far no more signs of the abscess, no more goo, no more sneezing. Honey is feeling great although we continue with the antibiotics and painkillers. A bit more fussy with food but still eating well. :)
Went back to the vet to check the abscess and Laura pressed on Honey's nose and the abscess came out through the nostril! There was a lot of goo and obviously uncomfortable but now the bump on the nose is gone! Great stuff, means the opp to remove may not be needed! Fingers crossed it will not come back :)
On Xmas Day I noticed Honey bunny has got an abscess. She was sneezing for around a week, so put her on Metacam and Baytril. I noticed her left nostril was a little more closed up so I started poking and discovered a little pea sized thing in the corner near her nose and lip. Laura confirmed its an abscess on Monday morning and put her on Septrin and Metronidazole. She is hoping the drugs will work as the opp might be difficult due to the location of the abscess (underneath the whiskers). The abscess is growing tho, the lose looks red and sore, hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon. She's still eating well tho, tough little bunny. Back to Laura for checkup on Tuesday.
Ollie is looking after Honey incredibly well, he keeps grooming her constantly. He is very caring and even tell me off when I try to clean Honey's eye or nose. Her eye is sometimes a little wet so even just a couple of licks to make sure she's all groomed. Honey of course is loving it. He did try to run away with her antibiotic once! Well at least I know the drugs won't be a problem if he ever needs any.
