Here’s Little-Bit’s chronology so far if anyone needs to see it:

Alright so!
As said, Little-Bit is doing lots better -she stil shakes and scratches her ears occasionally, but the nystagmus she used to have has gone down to not much more than a head bob. (I call it the ‘Stevie Wonder motion’) She’s now been on 1/8 an oral Baytril for nearing 7 weeks, but given the fact that she does still have SOME symptoms, there’s obviously something still plaguing her a bit.
When we first took her to be evaluated and such, she was 16 ounces -since then she’s almost doubled her BMI, topping out at a whopping 1lb 11.5 ounces- and so MY reasoning was that the tiny pills they gave me for her 7 weeks ago may not be as effective anymore given her current BMI. So I took Little-Bit back to the vet today to see if I could have her Baytril dosage updated to knock this thang out.
The good news: They looked in her ears, swabbed them, looked under a microscope, and determined that…YAY! The staph had been completely knocked out! NO MORE staph infection!
The bad news: Said removal of staph bacteria made it possible for yeast to overgrow.
>< Now they say she has a yeast infection in her ear where the staph started..
So they gave me some ear drops and told me to come back in a week. The ear drops are called “Tresaderm”:

Ingrediants: Thiabendazole, dexamethasone, and neomycin (from neomycin sulfate)
Inactive ingrediants: glycerin, propelyne glycol, hypophosphorus acid, calcium hypophosphate, ethyl alcohol, and benzl alcohol
Now, it’s OBVIOUS that I absolutely CANNOT let her ingest this stuff, but my question is -is everything else alright? I wasn’t able to find any of these on the house rabbit chart. =S
