have you gotten any second opinion from another vet? That might help. Maybe even just emailing people - Miss Hoppy's fabulous vet at Tufts Veterinary College is here: http://www.tufts.edu/vet/facpages/mayer_j.html and there's an email address for him ...Quote:

he is still on the antibiotics and is a little better, but i have to squeeze the abcess to get all the infection out of his ear every day.
Good News! Boof may not have to have the operation. He has been improving a little on the antibiotics, and in two weeks we have to take him back to the specialist and learn how to give him penicillin injections. He will have to have one injection a week for the rest of his life. The injections are so much cheaper than what he is on now. it is $30-$40 for a bottle, and that lasts 12- 16 monthes. Thanks again everyone, the specialist thought he would really need the operation, but when we brought him in yesterday, she was really surprised by his improvement. Your prayers must be helping. :D Boof has even learnt how to use his half numb tongue so that he doesn't chew on it any more. The vet wasn't expecting that. I am so happy!!!
So then I will continue to pray for Boof! ;) I'm glad things are looking up for him! :)Quote:

Great news!! :D
Oh you sweet little Boofy boy, so glad you are feeling better.
This is the first time I saw this thread!
I am glad to hear the Boof is improving, poor guy must have been so uncomfortable with that nasty abscess.
Thanks guys. He still has the abcess. i don't know if that will ever go down, but at least he is feeling better.
Argh! Poor Boof was in a bunny fight! To read more about it CLICK HERE!
WARNING: There is a picture of his wounds.
I am so upset. Boof has just been going through the wars.
well a bit of good news. boof's teeth are wearing down evenly again, and he is starting to be able to blink the bad eye. I think the numb side of his face is getting feeling again. This was not supposed to happen because his infection was so severe. I can't wait until the rabbit specialist sees him. She will be so amazed! there is no other way to explain it, it is really a miracle. thanks to everyone here for your thoughts and prayers. boof is not completely out of the woods, but he is slowly getting there. he is a fighter.
Hello Sarah and Boof,
Such good news that Boof is feeling better. Shows what lots of love and prayers plus a good vet can do. Kisses on that Boofy nose.
Poor Boof was getting better, and then a couple of days ago his numb eye started puffing up and pus stuff started coming out of it. We kept cleaning it up, but every few hours the pus would seal the whole eye shut. We brought him to the rabbit specialist today. She said his tear duct was blocked. she put some anesthetic in his eye, and flushed out his tear duct. A whole bunch of pus came out his nose. lol. She gave as some eye drops to give him, and we have to ring her on tuesday to tell her how he is going. Poor Boofy boy.
Poor Boof! Give him a nice noserub from us, okay? We hope he feels better soon!
Oh no Boof, and you were doing better. Pawsitive thoughts this can be cleared up again.
Sweet Boofy Boy,
You are going through so much. Get better sweetheart. We are all praying and sending the very best wishes for you.
Hugs and kisses on that cute nose.
Well Boof's attitude has gotten better since he got his eye flushed. He is hopping around a bit more instead of hiding in the corner. His eye is still a bit weepy though. Hopefully the eye drops will clear that up, otherwise the rabbit specialist may have to teach us how to flush boof's tear ducts himself.
Hi there Boofy Boy,
Hope you are feeling better. You are such a brave little man.
Easter is coming up. Get well so you can pass out lots of candies. I know that Easter Benny will be doing same.
Boof's eye is starting to clear up now. Most of the redness is gone and there is a lot less pus coming out now. We have to give him eye drops 3 times a day.
Well Boof's eye is completely better now, but we are still supposed to give him the eye drops until the vet says to stop.
Yesterday we had another problem with Boof. He was running around the backyard with us, and when we brought him back inside, we noticed he had a limp. His right back leg seemed to be bothering him, because he had tucked it under his body and kept falling over when he walked. I checked his leg for ages, but couldn't find anything obvious that was wrong with it.
This morning his foot seemed a lot better. he still has a slight limp though. i am going to keep an eye on it. Maybe he pulled a muscle or something.
Poor boof has been running into a lot of medical problems lately. The way he is going, the vet will think we are bahing him up or something. lol. Argh! Boofy, i wish he would just stay healthy. I feel like i should wrap him in bubble wrap so he doesn't get hurt any more. My poor baby.
Hello Boof,
Benny here, how are you feeling? It's a fine spring day here and mommy has opened my window and given me a banana piece for breakfest, yummy.
This morning I chased Jake the cat, he is such a sissy.
I also recieved two new boxes to hop in and chew, love doing that.
Hope you are well and happy. Bennybunny
