worried about my bunny

[jubieanna]

my bunny rabbit has an abscess on her cheek. she had it cut open and cleaned out on wednesday. it had refilled by friday so had to be done again. i have kept her indoors since but she is not eating! she has been having a drink.
im due to take her back on monday but im really worried that the abscess is refilling again.
anyone know what i can do. ive tried all her favourite treats.

hows it going feeding with the syringe feeding?? I always find the syringe blocks because the powdered rescue food sediments separate in the syringe a drop or two of a fruit baby food fill help the food flow better. People might think this is not important but when he are fighting to keep bunny sat in the right position with a cloth bib round there neck to catch food, the last thing you want is the syringe sticking. Also a nice drink of water after the feed to good.

Has bunny had a steroid shot yet to increase the appetite, there was one type which really worked on my bunny I could look through my records if you need know which one, better try one that you know works well on bunnies.

Let me know

ive had lots of practise with the syringe and it is going ok . the syringe is quite wide so it doesnt block. she has been back to the vets agin today and he is very pleased with her although she still had to have the abscess flushed through again it is much better. she gained weight and today she actually ate some cabbage. so im hopeful that the worst is over. thank you so much for all your support and advice what..the. i'll update agian when she goes back to the vets on tuesday next week.
