Hi Maureen. Our bunny Fiver had treatment for a similar problem. He had a tooth abscess but my vet was able to remove the offending tooth, plus another one that was on such an awkward angle. Fiver then developed another abscess. If its any help, here is Fivers...

My vet was so far pleased with the wound. He actually showed me some pictures of the operation which was interesting. Fiver's been having some free range time, but we have noticed he's limping quite a lot on his front paw (where the wound is) so it must be uncomfortable for him. We are only...

Fiver is doing ok thank you. His wound looks better and flatter. He's going for a check up tomorrow evening so I will know for definate if its healing up alright. I'm still dreading it when I search for lumps as I'm so worried another abscess will appear,but I'm trying to think positive. I...

So true about the water bowl Polly. Although its far from an ideal food, but I've been giving our bunny Fiver a small piece of wholemeal toast and its something he does go for when he's poorly. Did the vet suggest you giving Bugsey a probiotic? Sometimes it can stimulate their appetite. You...

Thank you Dani. Yes my vet removed all the abscess. Fiver was under for two hours so it was a long time for him. Fiver isn't keen on the antibiotic, but when its time for Metacam, he tugs at the syringe :D Rabbits can have an attitude can't they lol Just now and again he will grunt at me when...

Sorry my reply is short nangobi as I'm actually nursing my own bunny after his operation today. I'm glad to hear Bugsy was given pain relief, it can make such a big difference in how the yfeel. As for the syringe feeding, I'm feeding my Fiver every 3 to 4hours just so his tum doesn't go into...

Thank you Dani.Fivers operation was bigger than first thought. It involved sorting out blood vessels to and he was under for a long time. David my vet thinks he removed everything. The wound is very large. I really hope and pray Fiver doesn't get another one. I'm staying up with Fiver tonight...

Aww Dandi is adorable :inlove: Thank you so much for telling me Dandi's story, it really has helped and given me some hope for Fiver. Dandi's recovery was really good wasn't it , I'm so pleased for you both. All the very best for Dandi when he goes back to the vets for a check up. I've had a...

Thank you Runestonez. I actually sent my vet an email last night and asked if he would be able to take away the whole abscess including extentions. He said he would try but couldn't make any promises. I'm taking Fiver in a couple of hours so he can see it. Here is lovely Fiver. You can see the...

Thank you Runestonez for letting me know about Dandi, I'm glad his abscess hasn't come back, you must be so relieved. Sorry I'm only just posting. It turned out that Fiver had a tooth abscess after having an xray. He then had dental treatment. He had two molars taken out, one that had caused...

Thank you for your advise. A friend who needed to flush her guinea pigs abscess recomended hibbiscrub which can be bought from a vets, but when I rang up about it, a vetrinary nurse said the salt water would work better. She said I can do it twice daily. I will remember to boil the water...

So sorry to read about Max's problems Haley. I really hope he stays as comfortable as possible. Sending hugs for Max:hearts

Thank you so much and for the links. Sorry Max's abscess is back Hayley, I hope he'll be ok. Its good news for Basil. I managed to go back to the vets this morning and the vet decided to lance the abscess which wasn't a nice experience for Fiver. Because the pain relief had made...

I've just returned from my vets with our bunny Fiver. This morning I noticed he wasn't his usual playful self and on closer inspection, I felt a lump just under his ear. My vet thinks its an abscess. At the moment he's just given him pain relief and I'm taking him back...

Thank you honeybunnie, at first I thought 3 feet didn't seem very high for Thumper but I got my tape measure out and it probably would be high enough. He is a bit of a jumper, but I don't think I've seen him leap that high lol Like you say, as long as I don't keep anything near that would tempt...
