Hi all!  I posted here about a different topic but figured I would bring back some good news.

About 2 years ago we got Chewy.  After a month of having her, we realized she had a big abscess in her cheek.  Her previous owners never noticed.  We had 2 separate surgeries, but both times they told us it was in her jaw bone and there was nothing much else they could do if i didn’t want to remove most of her jaw.

We started her on batril oral medicine daily and penicillin injections every 2 days.  It’s been at least a year since this regimen has started and she is still a VERY happy-go-lucky bunny.  The vet can’t believe that the medication worked so well and said “I can’t believe this bunny is still alive!”

So, I was once a despondent poster here and I wanted to let you guys know that with medication diligence sometimes your bun can live with an absess for a long time.  We don’t know how long we will have with her left, but just wanted to let you guys know that an absess isn’t always a death sentence.  Obviously it doesn’t always turn out so well and the owners have to be committed to the treatment.   I just wanted to share my story if anyone needed any hope.
