Brenda, when did you start the panacur? I just went through this with our
rescue Bellamy, she no longer has tilt.
I will keep him in my prayers. I used tmz for sadies pneumonia but honestly
didn’t see much improvement til after we put her on bicillin. But I have
also heard good things about it too…please keep us posted.
Love.
Janet

I am relieved Frodo is being treated for EC, too..Brenda. It sounds as if
your vet is approaching this from many angles. Let us know how he does
with the TMZ..I am keeping him in my prayers.
Love,

Yes the vet started treating him right away for ear infection and EC --
he’s finishing up his 28 days of Panacur. I’m still using cold laser,
shining down in his ears. He hates it but he gets treats so he puts up
with it. I’ve never used TMZ Tribrissen, but it’s safe for rabbits I
guess so fingers crossed.

Brenda,
Thanks for the update on Frodo; I was wondering how he's doing. This is
encouraging, and I will keep him on the list and in my prayers. Did the
vet mention anything about a concurrent EC infection? I mention that
because EC can be opportunistic, and with his defenses down it's possible.
Are you still using the laser? I hope he will show improvement with each
day. Keep us posted.
Love,
Roberta

Yesterday the vet said there was significantly less pus and wax in Frodo’s
ears. She said to stop Baytril and Pen-G shots and instead give TMZ
tribrissen 0.65ml orally 2/day. He’s still dizzy and has trouble walking
when I put him on his feet (has weak back left leg and goes in circles,
some are big circles and sometimes he stands for a bit). He sleeps a lot
and always lays in a croissant shape. 🥐.

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
