It is me again, with my sick bunny again.My spayed, 8 years old angora bunny has a respiratory tract infection.She has been on various form of antibiotics since march at least.In may, she has been given 4 intramuscular injections every three days ( Duplocillin) .As of the 8Th of june, she has had 0.5ml of Duplo injected subcutaneously every two days.One month later she was doing pretty good, almost no abnormal breathing sound, her weight was ok, no eye or nose discharge.Then, we switched to once every three days.Today, she is has bad as when we started the treatment, she is starting to lose a little bit of weight( from 7.0 she is now 6.8 ) , she has turned into a fussy eater and for some reason giving the Duplo ervery three days is much harder ( the darn penicillin just won't get out of the syringe it feels concrete based ).On top of everything, she has had a fit of convulsion last night.She was on her side and her legs were moving wildly, her eyes were open.She could almost have been dreaming.Of course when she got back up she looked at me with the just WHAT are you looking at ??? Everything pretty much back to normal today.
I am scheduled to see the vet in a week but I will call back tomorrow to change the date and until then I'll go back to once every other day.
If anyone has any, any, idea of what I should do, let me know.My vet doesn't want to do a culture and she does not recommend Zithromycin/Zythromax because it causes abcess and loss of appetite.
ShouldI change vet, should I just keep injecting every two days, should I change medication ? This disease is just plain nasty.
