Thank you so much @Pebble it means a lot to me! It was not easy but was so worth it, I have learnt another skill which I am sure will come in handy in the future (hopefully not anytime soon) To see Daisy eating normally again and being happy is so rewarding, she has been a little star this past month or so. I think the metacam increase has really helped with keeping the arthritic pain in her jaw under control. Do you know how long you are supposed to give Zithromax for after recovery? @furryfriends Excellent Adventure Sanctuary xx
With aggressive abscesses we have tended to do 3 to 4 weeks of Zithromax. The worry with stopping it too soon could be the abscess returns. Daisy has done so well. I wish you lived closer, I have so much work you could be helping with! You should be very proud of what you have achieved xx
Thank you, will continue for at least 3 weeks then. Really hope it doesn't come back! I wish I was too, would love to help out with piggies! It's such a rewarding feeling knowing you're helping them. Thank you very much xx
We will be setting a date for an open day soon. Would be lovely if you could come xx

It appears the abscess is back from what I could see this morning
yes she is, although I lowered the dose when it went last week. Plus she's being rather naughty and not swallowing it! Do you think if a warm soaked cotton wool ball was pressed against it that the head should then open up? Really don't know what to do if it's come back, especially so soon. Will be phoning the vets this morning, need to figure out when I can go. This is such a shame, just as I thought Daisy had got through it xx
I will try this when I get home, as currently I am at college. I will be re-increasing it then and forcing it down her again, I have been a little too lenient with her since it had cleared up by not forcing it in to her. She absolutely hates the stuff, not an easy task trying to get it in her. It is a shame as it had been completely gone for 10 days? Surely it can't be back again for a 3rd time? I am so disappointed, not at Daisy or myself. But by this happening again, if you know what I mean. I was feeling so positive and relieved that Daisy had come through this. If it is going to be a constant on-going problem, will she ever be able to recover and get better? I still now do not understand why my little girl has to be poorly. I am always having to face this with my pets, it is so unfair. In just 2 and half years, I have to deal and experience with 2 rabbits with ill health, one had dental disease; arthritis and heart disease. The second had dental disease, kidney disease, arthritis and heart disease and was on various twice daily meds and had to have several operations. Then they both passed on, as expected. Then to top it all off, lost Daisy's half sister Ruby in December to heart failure very suddenly and unexpectedly (found out by post mortem). Daisy was fine when Ruby was alive which is what I am struggling to understand.
