Hi everyone,
On Friday morning I noticed that my rabbit Cocoa was acting strange. He is a 5 year old male dwarf mix. He seemed dizzy, not very good balance and his head was tilted a little bit. I got a vet appointment for him that afternoon. The vet checked him, said he had an ear infection and gave us Baytril for him. Cocoa is supposed to get .2 ml of Baytril twice a day for 30 days. 30 days seems rather long to me. Cocoa had this same type of problem a year and a half ago and the emergency vet that we went to gave him Baytril, but he only needed to take it for about 7 days.
So far he's had the Baytril 3 days and doesn't seem to be improving much. He stays in his castle all day because if he comes out he loses his balance and falls over. Luckily he is eating and drinking. I put the food right in front of him so he does not have to come out. Here is a photo of Cocoa. As you can see, that's about as far as he comes out. I am worried that he is sitting around all day and not moving around much.
At this point I am wondering when I should expect to see improvement with him? And is 30 days too long to give him Baytril? Thank you!
