Hi everyone,
Can someone please help me urgently.
Details below:
LOCATION: We live in Thailand. Bunny was outside in exercise run yesterday. Discovered his face completely covered in Fire Ants.
BREED/COLOUR/WEIGHT: Woody Toy (Thai Long-haired), tri-colour, 1.3kgs
AGE: 1 year and 3 months old
SEX: Male
CONDITION: Took to vet yesterday immediately after discovery. She gave him some glucose, a pain killer shot of something and sent us home with Genti-oph antibiotic eye drops and Tolfed? (it's a little difficult to read the vets writing), which is a pain killer combined with vitamins - yellow colour. Have given the eye drops 3 times now, and this morning when I checked on him one eye was completely gunked up and not open. Both eyes are very inflamed. I bathed his eyes with some cool water and both are now open. I have not used the eyedrops again until I have the advice of others on this forum. The Tolfed? I have not given at all at this stage as I'm worried about giving anything my mouth. (Had another rabbit die when a different vet here gave him the wrong medication). He seems somewhat happy, is eating well, but his respiration does not sound good. No grinding of teeth at this point.
FECAL & URINARY OUTPUT: All seems to be ok
MEDICAL HISTORY: Unneutered. Has always been a snuffly bunny.
DIET: Pellets, green vegetables and hay. Last ate 1/4 cup of pellets last night. All gone by this morning.
OTHER: His eyes are red and gunked up with white goo. His breathing is a little laboured but not strikingly so.
Please if someone could guide me about whether or not I should give him the Tolfed? painkiller I would really appreciate it. Also, because his eye was gunked shut this morning I'm reluctant to put anymore of the eye drops in his eyes too. Is there anything else I can do?
Many thanks
