Awww, Brenda, I am so sorry to hear about Frodo.I just rescued a bunny from
a park and she had tilt suddenly. I gave her every other day bicillin, (if
I had penicillin that wasn’t expired I’d give it every day) I gave it for
two weeks. She got better but the tilt was totally resolved so I have Ben
giving her panacur rabbit so far for 2 weeks and she is back to normal, but
I will give the panacur for 28 days to make sure if she has ec it will be
gone. Ec is hard for vets to even diagnose as the tests are not always
accurate.
I am also so sorry to hear about your health issues and and I will keep you
both in my prayers every night,
Please keep us posted.
Love, Janet

Please put Frodo on the prayer list (or update his issue). For the past 2--
weeks he has head some tilt and lots of dizziness and considerable trouble
walking from a double ear infection. The antibiotics (first Baytril oral,
only 1 injection of Pen G, Baytril topical ear drops, Panacur, then a week
later (last week) we added daily injections of Pen-G) are not killing the
infection. I have trouble putting in the ear drops, but they seem to be
getting down in there, although I’m never sure if it’s getting down into
the ear canal /ear drum or in the other cavern that doesn’t go anywhere.
Vet says it’s a “sterile infection” and antibiotic isn’t crossing the blood
brain barrier. The vet is asking a compounding pharmacist if there is
anything topical we can put in his ears. She also may try steroid ear drops
as a last resort before we PTS. I’m aware that he is 9 ½ years old, so we
are trying to figure out if he can be cured, at least enough to have a good
quality of life. We started Reglan injections yesterday to get gut moving.
He started eating again last night and today without being force-fed, so
maybe we can keep him stable enough to give the antibiotics more time. He
sleeps a lot and still grooms himself and sometimes his bonded mate too.
He loves his greens and will eat a whole garden if I let him, but vet said
only 2 cups a day, less if he gets diarrhea. I hope the vet can find a
topical drug that will help. The vet is going to loan us a UV laser to use
on his ears twice a day. Please also pray for me as I’m having some
health issues and am stressed out.
love,
Brenda and Frodo and Balin
