He ended with Azithromycin last night because it didn't seem to be making any improvement. Tonight was his first dose of Chloramphenical. He will also get his dose of Meclazine yet tonight. I've got him comfortably tucked in a little box and covered up to keep warm. Is there anything else I...

Just wondering? Button has been really sick with an ear infection, but this morning he started having involuntary twitches. Nothing major, just like a quick little shiver maybe every 1/2 hour or so. This morning he also was having more trouble getting around. He'd been off balance because of the...

Update: Button went in for his follow up today. He gained 3 oz which was great. His ear has cleared up, but the vet said to continue with the Baytril/saline ear drops. The pet pharmacy is making up some chloramphenical ointment for his eye, which hasn't improved, that I will pick up later...

Thanks, Randy!! I was actually re-reading some ofthe responses you gave me in 2009 about issues with one of my other rabbits (Jessie)when Button first got sick. That was the first time I used Azithromycin, per your suggestion, and it was very helpful. Jessie's head is still pretty crooked, but...

Thanks, I am clueless at math!

Is this the info for dosage: Azithromycin 100mg/5ML Susp 15 ml Cara

Thanks for the info tonyshuman! I was hoping you'd see this thread :) I'm going to the Tractor Supply store tomorrow night to pick up bicillin (I currently have Pen G Procaine), but I think I'll have to get the needles from the vet. What gauge should I ask her for?And what size syringe would it...

How much bicillin and how much sterile water did you mix together and then how did you know how much to adjust the dose? Do you also get your bicillin online or from the vet?

Hi Maureen, Asking if it can be diluted is a great idea! The tech was talking about how thick it is and with the tiny size needle he needs to use it makes it hard to get it through. I'll have to check the bottle that came from the vet for the cc's, etc. that you mentioned. I actually still...

I have a little 1.5 lb Netherland Dwarf named Button who has a really bad ear infection, so much so that he's off balance and unsteady when he hops. He had a big glob of hardened discharge and gross pusin his ear that the vet removed so that helped somewhat. He also has an eye infection. His...

Jessie can hop!!!! Well, kind of :Pbut regardless of how clumsy she might look doing it I am thrilled and so proud of her!! I know I can thank the advice from the forum for her progress. It scares me to think that without the help of this group, she would have just been taking a small dose of...

Hi everyone who has been helping me with Jessie, I'm happy to say she's doing pretty well! She has been on Azithromiacin for 6 days now. She's been getting PenG injections every day rather than every other (because she has Procaine only) and she's still taking Oxybendazole. She's gotten a...

Hi Maureen, You must be a night person like me! :) No changes really. She seems a little stronger but still can't move and her head is still at 90 degrees. It kills me to know that she sits in the exact same place all day with her little head resting on the edge of her litterbox. I give her a...

Thanks, everyone! Yup, Jessie aka Jazzy! I keep saying to her, "If you can make it through having 10 babies as a teenage mother, this will be a piece of cake!" :) She has hospital visiting hours with Button from about 6pm-10pm. I can't leave them together all the time yet because she still...

Getting a scale is a really good idea!! I don't know why but I never even thought of that. It would be good now for Jessie but also just to have on hand if another bun gets sick or seems to be getting chubby. I'm definitely going to get one. Did you know Jessie's partner is a tiny little...
