My vet thought my rabbit may have yeast in her right ear causing her to flop over to the right. I know she has mobility problems as her right rear leg does not always follow directions from the brain.
I have some Baytril Otic and was told to put a big squirt into her ear twice daily. I settled for 3 drops at a time. I checked the drop size in the sink to see how much each drop was. However she does not like it. She shakes her head and scratches the ear for about 5 minutes after I introduce the meds. I massage the ear for a minute or two after. Its almost as if this is giving her more grief than her "maybe" yeast situation. Frankly I am not happy putting her under such stress.
Am I doing this wrong or is there a more humane method?
