I have a bunny with a dental infection/sinus abscess. I red so many posts about this on this forum that I really want to tell my vet I need a Pen-G/Zi\ythromycin combo to knock this thing out. He has no problem with Pen-G and honestly, after removing a tooth, Rocky was on Bicillin every other dayfor 28 days. We've long time thought he had snuffles with all of his sneezing so he's been treated with all of the wrong things over the past year now that we realize the problem is truly a dental abscess. I'm hoping someone here can supply me with the protocol to clear this up with the Bicillin/Zithromycin combination. Rocky is a dwarf dutch and just over 3 lbs. Lucky for us, he's a spunky thing. No issues eating, playing, or anything else. He's drooling and sneezing (ALOT!) or you'd never know he had any sort of problem. He's on daily Meloxicam for pain but he continues to drool. If Randy is still on this forum, you are apparently the man with the answers. If anyone else knows how much, how often and how long for this drug combination, please, please tell me!! I'm nebulizing him twice a day just to loosen things up. I can get him started on the Bicillin again right away but if he really needs these two drugs in combination, that's what I'd like to do. My vet says he's never heard of the combo and knows of no science that indicates they should be used together. That said, he's willing if we want to go that route. I just need some dosage info so I can have an intelligent conversation with him about it.
