Vibes for Felix U/D dental abscess Empty Vibes for Felix U/D dental abscess

Felix has always had a blocked tear duct and his eye gets a bit runny. Lately it has been held in check by Wolfie cleaning it. The other day I noticed his eye was looking a bit gummy so brought him in and cleaned it with cold tea.

Today I took him to the vet and he has an ulcer on the surface of his eye. It is quite a bad ulcer and is big and white. Some healing has started to happen because there is a lot of new red tissue immediately underneath. I have some ABX cream to put on three times a day after a clean and some Baytril to give orally.

Please send vibes for my wee boy. I don't think I can bear another eye-related death. It is just some upsetting that it is so soon after Gloria.

Oh goodness, Im so sorry to hear this is happening to Felix. Bless him

I hope you are okay, you must be worried.

Its good that it has started to heal on its own, and now that he has ABX it will hurry the healing along.

Sending Vibes for you both, along with oodles and oodles of love. x x x

Nickie, Fiver had a bad eye infection that progressed to an Ulcer last summer and it has cleared up perfectly with drops (we used chloramphenicol) and hasn't even scarred which I very much expected it too.

The eye itself is still prone to weeping but the ulcer itself has gone. I can't remember how long it took but certainly I saw a difference within a few days.

I'm so sorry to hear about poor Felix. It must be terrible for you, with memories of the gorgeous glo. Hopefully like Sooz said it will clear up soon and he will be fine. Hugs

Thanks for that Sooz, it makes me feel a lot better to hear of someone else's experience. I have to clean the eye three times a day and milk the tear duct to get all the gunk out, then apply Gentimicin ABX ointment. I've got Baytril to give orally too. Hopefully together with the ABX injection he got last night, he will have had such a hit of ABX that it will get things started.

He seemed OK today. His eyelid wasn't as swollen and there was a lot less gunk than last night. Fingers crossed for him because he is such a sweetheart and so well behaved. If I had to do all this Wolfie I would have been scratched to bits!

Lots of hugs Nickie. Chance got an ulcer on his eye when he had an abscess on it years ago. It has never gone, no matter what drops he has but doesn't cause him any problems. Big hugs. These eye buns are a nightmare xxxxx

Oh No, Poor Felix. Thank goodness you found him though, and spotted something wrong - You've done such a lot for this little lad. Hoping things are brighter still this afternoon, I have to admit an eye problem would be something I had no idea how to deal with. Hope your both ok xx

Well I have just done the third session. He is going to hate me sooooo much by the end of this week. Laughing

He has had three lots of ABX ointment in his eye, had it cleaned beforehand and the infection milked from his tear ducts beforehand, and had a dose of Baytril. His eye is looking a bit better, less infection and inflammation. It is a lot more open so that is good.

Back from the vet and the ulcer is practically healed up. His eye is still pretty red with conjuctivitis but when the vet pressed underneath his eye, there was a spectacular fountain of pus that just erupted. The vet suspects that the ulcer was caused by Felix being uncomfortable with the abscess and perhaps rubbing his eye and scratching it that way.

So the Baytril has been upped, have more gentamicin ointment to put on and he is having a dental examination under GA on Monday just to see what the problem is. The vet thinks that it was a pocket of pus and it is now empty, but I know what abscesses are like so will just wait for the result of Monday's examination.

Honestly, I do pick 'em!!

He is now sitting on a towel in the kitchen eating his nuggets as a reward for all the rabbithandling and basically having a good nose about. He is fascinated by his reflection in the cooker door. Laughing Laughing

hi Guys,

Heard from Nickie this morning but unfortunately her net has gone down.

Felix is having his GA this morning and there is still some puss coming out from underneath the eye. They are going to flush his eye through and see if there is a flow through to a particular tooth.

Please can we have as many vibes as possible this morning for the little guy, and positive thoughts that this is something that can be easily treated.

Katie. x
