Hi all, I have a 20 week old baby dwarf hotot bunny named Snowball. I am in Arizona right now on vacation but I will be back tomorrow. (I live in Michigan.) My mom is taking care of my bunny and had to take him to the vet yesterday because her eye was red and runny. The bunny also kept closing her eye. It really scared me when my mom told me she had to take her to the vet.
They diagnosed her with an eye infection and prescribed eye drops and oral antibiotics. The vet also did a thorough exam and my mom said she was impressed with where she took her. Thiswas bun bun's first visit to the vet. She weighs a little over 2 pounds, and they checked her ears, eyes, lungs, teeth, etc. Her lungs were clear so that is a good thing. Also she has been sneezing a bit, which was a concern that we told the vet. The antibiotics prescribed were to help make sure the infection didn't spread. Bunny is eating normally, playing and jumping. It was neat because the vet asked what her fav treat was and she said apples...and gave her apple flavored antibiotics.
The name of the antibiotics are baytril suspension and the eye drops are neo poly gram ...is what my mom texted me. The doctor is listed on the house rabbit society's website, and she really appears to be a rabbit savvy doctor. Does anyone know anything about these medicines? She also did a smear on bunny's eye to make sure there was not an abrasion. The vet spent about an hour with my mom and was very thorough. Snowball needs to go back for a checkup in 7-10 days I have to take her.
Does anyone know what this could possible be, if the drugs are safe, and do you think bunny will be okay? She hasn't been around any other rabbits, but the doctor said that it could have been laying dormant in her and then just surfaced itself. I have been really worried about her while I've been gone.
