Yeah I’ll definitely take her in on Monday, she’s been on baytril and pain meds the whole week and hasn’t improved her appetite or poop production. I’m very worried because she’s super slow today and still sneezing a lot. She still gets excited over Critical care (it’s like crack for her) and pellets, and will eat romaine lettuce if i hold it for her so there’s that at least. I hope it’s a small spur and nothing else, she’s never taken this long to get back to normal. In the meantime i should just continue giving her gas drops pain meds and antibiotics until Monday right?

Can I give her pain meds more than once a day? She’s really worrying me right now, and I’m just trying to keep her going till monday. It says on the bottle .3 mL once a day but I feel like she’s in a lot of pain right now since they’ve likely worn off. Her stomach also still feels like its full of gas even though I gave her gas drops 3 times today, an hour apart each. She passed around 20-30 good poops, it seems like there’s no blockage so I’m really stressed and lost as to why she’s so slow.

Thank you! She’s doing okay, still producing some poops and taking pellets/critical care and water. I’m thinking the issue is she’s resistant to Baytril, because I’m seeing discharge on her nose now. Just 6 more hours till she sees the vets, things should be okay

She’s back home from her visit, they ended up filing down a lot of her teeth. The vet said it was a really bad case and she had a lot of painful areas from teeth poking at her cheeks 😔 Makes me so sad because I wouldn’t have known if it hadn’t gotten to this point. The vet said to aggressively give critical care for the week until her mouth heals, and pain meds and antibiotics to prevent infections. How do I know if I’m giving too much critical care?

Thank you!

Thank you so much ❤️ I really appreciate the help! One last thing (sorry I know its annoying 😅) but is it normal for her to still be sitting hunched up after the surgery? She’s eating all her critical care and drinking plenty of water, took pain meds and antibiotics but still having dry sneezing fits and sitting like she’s in pain. I’m worried that even if her molars were filed down, her incisor roots might be too long and poking into her nasal cavity making her still sneeze like that. Is that something I should take her in for again once she’s settled down or is it going to get better after the filing?

Hello, Rain’s been recovering well the past 4-5 days from her dental surgery. I just noticed though that one of her cheeks is swollen and noticeably jutting out compared to the other. Is this normal because of the surgery or something I need to get checked out immediately? I’m worried it’s a tooth abscess but I don’t know anything about those.

Thank you, I will go ahead and call the vet on Monday!

Okay, so the vet said the abscess formed when her teeth were cutting into her cheek and she drained it yesterday and said to continue Baytril and pain meds even tho Baytril seems to be doing nothing at all. Rain’s been very lethargic today and she’s been acting unlike herself. She’s started eating her litter box bedding and runs away when someone goes near her unless it’s to feed her CC or some fruit. The vet said to bring her back for a check in in 6 days, but I’m really afraid that Rain might not make it. What am I missing or doing wrong that’s causing her to only get worse?

Hello, thank you both for the responses! So we called the vet again today about changing the antibiotic and she said to continue Baytril for 7 more days before considering changing it… I think that this vet doesn’t seem to be the most experienced with rabbits, but she’s also the only one. I checked rabbit.org and everything for rabbit vets and the ones listed aren’t in my state anymore. The swelling on her cheek does seem much better after it got drained, and today she’s more responsive (perks up at shaking the treat bag, snatches food from your hand)  though still too low on energy levels to run around.

Thank you! We got her to eat little bits of veggies too for the first time in the past two weeks. But her left eye, the same side with the swelling is leaking with discharge now. I gave her the same drops we used the last time she got an eye infection (they worked pretty efficiently) and am doing my best to keep the area clean. Also Bam, I will go ahead and take photos. Our vet hasn’t mentioned putting anything into the cavity yet.

Update: turns out that discharge was just from the abscess bursting! She’s doing really well now, so I think we will continue this treatment and work to get her back to hay and veggies soon. Still, I will report everything to the vet at her follow up just in case. Thank you all!
