Hi,
are there someone who had an opinion of injecting directly in an rabbits abscess?
My rabbit had 5 surgeries in last 12 months and abscess has returned about every 2-3 months. The last surgery (2 months ago) was more expensive, because antibiotic beads were placed after removal of abscess. Then I red this article http://people.umass.edu/~jwmoore/bicillin/bicillin.htm and according to this I am injecting 0.25ml dublicillin (a.k.a. bicillin) under my rabbits skin between shoulder blades every 48 hours (his weight is 1.8kg), today he will receive the third injection. His abscess is about one inch diameter.
I was thinking about direct injection in abscess after reading http://rabbitabscess.wordpress.com/ where the author says:
"He recommended injectable penicillin g Procaine. Opal is to receive .2ml directly in the abscess every 24 hours and .35ml in the back between the shoulder blades every 48 hours."
I have tried to contact Marcy E. Rosenfield (Moore) about direct injection in abscess via e-mail few days ago, but no response yet. There are no vets in our country who have heard about bicillin use for rabbit abscess, they even didn't knew about antibiotic bead implants before I gave them that information. They are willing to help and I can get all medication without problems, but they have not much knowledge about rabbit abscess treatment. Maybe you can suggest some expierenced vet who could help me via e-mail? Thanks!
