And truly, there is nothing that has ever worked as well for me In bunnies
as it woks for the most common bacteria in lagomorpha, pasteurella and
more. I have never used anything thar worked so well. I sure hope they
continue to make penicillin, of course it can never be given orally, only
subq or IM…
Love, Janet

Both pen and bicillin are good, Well penicillin is the short acting--
version and it works as well but it must be given every 24 hours, I can’t
buy it in California now, can’t even buy terramycin. It’s nuts here. I have
used both successfully. The bicillin stays in the system much longer and is
easier not to give a shot every other day to bunnies and not daily, but
now iam finding penicillin is back ordered. All because of covid? Why?

Poor little Frodo. 🙁 I hope he improves soon Brenda. Not having
bunnies anymore (both mine have since passed away as very elderly buns), I
sit and read what's going on with so many other people's rabbits and wow
they seem so prone to certain issues, don't they? And some of those
problems can really be difficult to treat. It's starting to remind me of
all the folks I know with ferrets.....they have so many health issues, much
more so than rabbits do. I volunteered my time to open up a online store
for a non-profit here (Washington Ferret Rescue and Shelter), and I also
create designs for some of their merchandise. The more I am around all
these folks the more I realize just how heartbreaking keeping ferrets can
be. They really drew the short end of the stick when it comes to health
issues.
What is everyone turning to now that bicillin is impossible to get a hold
of?

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
