You can definitely have x rays done and thatwill show you the extent of the damage to the jaw. My poor little guysis going through the same thing. His abscess did get to the bone andweakened his lower jaw, making surgery impossible. Just because theinfection has gone to the bone it does not mean...

I actually contacted the lady I got Daisy fromand I still need to check if she has responded. I have one otheroption, there is a dr where a friend of mine works that strictly seesrabbits, so I will probably set up an appt and see what she thinks ofthe rads. Thank for the reassurance on what I am...

Thank you all. I'll keep you posted. So far he still has an appetite and is active. So thank god for that.

Those are great things to consider and that iswhy I dont want to euth. He eats great and is very active. I had himout last night and he was as curious as can be. I have decided for thetime being since they said surgery is not an option is to keep on painmeds and see about starting bicillin...

Thank you haley. Lumpy very well needs all the prayers he can get:pray:

Thank you, I just wished the previous ownerswould have had this checked out earlier. Then it would have beenoperable, people like that make me sooo angry:mad: This poorhelpless bunny, could have had a wonderful life, but now it might becut short because of the lack of care. :cry1:

The way they made it sound euth would be best. Iwould like to do what you are saying, continue with the pen g inj andpain meds, but am i being selfish in keeping him alive? He is about 3yrs old

I am so torn right now. xrays showed the extentof the abscess made his jaw very brittle a making it almost certainthat if any procedure is done his jaw will break. The dr said the cantry and open it up and if the damage is too much to euth. But I dontwant to euthanizes. He seems so happy when he...

I just talked to the dr and they just took xraysof his jaw and what they saw does not look good. She said it had almostdestroyed its lower jaw and even if they try to debride it, it couldcause the jaw to break. The only option they gave me were to prettymuch euthanize. But I dont want to...I...

Thank you all for all your well wishes. The drthat saw my bunny (his name was buck but I changed it to lumpy) is anew dr at the hospital that specialize is exotics, but I am a littlehesitant to let him do the surgery only because I don't know the extentin his knowledge in rabbits and I don't...

The brand kaytee makes timothy cubes. They are just timothy hay compressed into cubes but the bunnies seem to think of them as treats, they go crazy for them. Maybe you can try these for a healthier treat for you bun.

Flashy, thanks so much for the much needed optimism! I really needed that! Pipp, thanks for the resource. I am actually doing the penicillin injto see if it would help. One of our er dr read that trials have beendone and seemed to have good results. He's abscess is really bad andthe dr at my...
