Bunny Ear Infection

Awww poor lad !!

Are the eardrops called CANAURAL ?
If so it will be that causing his greasy fur as some of the medication will come out of the ears as Bun shakes his head.
I have a Bun on Canaural at the mo' and he looks like he's put Brylcream on his head and back
You can minimise how much of the drops come out of the ear by massaging the ear base for a couple of mins after applying the drops. Also, wipe away any visible excess with a cottonwool pad.
I hope your boy is better soon

Aw poor Fudgey... has he also been given a jab for his ear mites?

Thanks guys
Fudge has had a course of xeno 450 for the mites as the vet didnt want to use the unlicenced injection.

yes its the canaural stuff and yes looks like brlycream....he also seems very subdued but happy to munch tonight...think he is just feeling sorry for himself at the moment.

he is spending lots of time snuggled on his blankie or head rested on his cushion...im letting him have quiet time as much as possible as he isnt in mood to cuddle..wel cant really blame him when its me that has to do the drops which he hates!

Poor Fudge - if he normally enjoys a cuddle then I would spend extra time with him so not all the attention is for meds.

Maybe give him a new toy, new cardboard box or something to take his mind off his problems?

Good Luck

Awwwww poor lad
I wouldn't put anything into his ear canal but you could wipe away any excess drops.

Groom him too. He probably wont want to groom himself as he's all greasy
I use Asissi Grooming Lotion, on my Buns not on me !!

His ear infection may be painful so your Vet may agree to him having some Metacam ( a non steroidal anti-inflammatory ) for a few days. Although the Canaural does contain an anti-inflam it is sometimes not enough.

Huggles ans snuggles to poor Fudgey x

hello
i took fudge back to the vet tonight-i rang matt on my way to work and explained he just wasnt himself. jim saw him tonight and has given him an anti-inflam injection to open up his ear canals as the infection had takne hold and was making him sore and tired.

i was meant to be going for a run tonight but going to have my tea shortly, shower and then snuggle with my bunster.

i will give him a good brush and perhaps some carrot chunks as a treat

Hopefully the anti-inflam' will take the edge off his discomfort, poor lad.

morning all x

well im one deshevelled bunny at the moment-mummy is still putting the nasty drops in my ears so im grumpy as i really dont like that they make me feel all sad but mummy says i have to be good as they will make my ears less hurty and get rid of the horrid infection.

mummy and aunty maz gave me a wash last night with a fluffy face cloth and some warm water and get rid of some of the nasty stuff on my fur-this meant i actually groomed myself last night as my fur didnt taste yuck!

mummy ringing the vets this morning for more drops not sure i like that thought but mummy says i ahve to keep wiht my drops til i see matt the vet on august 6th.

on the brighter side im eating loads and enjoying my charge about time as i have more energy as my ears are less hurty although i do spend lots fo time snuggld on my blankie with my bear and mummy bunny toy for company.

mummy off to work so best go have a nose rub

love fudge

(mummy says hello xx)

Awwww Fudge I am glad your ears are a bit better

What a good boy you are to let your Mummy put those pesky drops in. I hope you will soon be completely better

hi aunty jane
those drops are really really pesky! (I like that word!)
they dribble everywhere and make pretty patterns when i throw my ears about.....hehehehehe...normally covering mummy in them

mummy has taken to snuggling me in a fluffy towel so i cant escape and puts me on the table so i cant run away,...i let mummy do it as she then massages are my ears and gives me parsley....yummy yummy!

well off to lounge and have quiet time whilst mummy working hard to earn pennies to keep me in the style i have become acustomed!

Aw hello fudge, I am glad to hear you are being good and taking your meds! Get well soon x

morning-just bouncing by before mummy goes to balance class (she will never be well-balanced but you cant tell her!)

mummy STILL giving me those pesky ear drops but think my ears are definately less hurtie. mummy has been a bit sneaky doing my drops as she has been really worried about totally stressing me out but when she does them she gives me nose rubs and kisses and massages my ears then i waggle them......

mummy gave me another wash with the fluffy thing the other night and it was brill....really cooled me off in the heat and got rid fo the yucky taste of drops from my fur so i felt like washing myself again.

well back at vets next wedsnesday to see uncle matt i really really hope i dont get more pesky drops

hugs and bunny bounces, fudge xxx

Awwwww Fudge you are such a good boy !!

I am everso curious ( well, OK , I'm nosey ) but what are the Balance classes your Mum goes to

I have visions of her tightrope walkng !!

fudge tries to imagine his mummy not falling off the tightrope....she cant stand up straight on the ground...

Well I hope the classes are helping

hiya jane
my small bunster is snuggled up with his blankie looking feeble!

im not long back from the beach where i had my godson for the afternoon-he was definately in a mood and was a little monster.

i do two different balance classes-on a tuesday i do the bodybalance class which is the workout that combines yoga, pilates and tai chi then on a thursday i do a balance, stretch, flex and tone type workout again in a class.

with the neuro issues i have it has really helped me improve in balance, co-ordination and strenght and my body shape is amazing now aswell

I have heard so many people sing the praises of Pilates !!

I'm glad your efforts are helping

*humph* I turn my back for a snooze and mummy logs in!

mummy now doing drops once each day as it was stressing me outtoo much-so far today no pesky drops in my ears....dont remind mummy will you!!!

mummy seems very tired but was on about someone being a nightmare-hope she wasnt referring to me!

I do hope that the pesky Vet will say 'no more ear drops' when you have your next appointment Fudge.
If not I suggest you do a BIG wee on the examination table.........

im a refined bunster dont you know-i really do only piddle in my litter tray like mummy taught me

mummy didnt know if she was doing the right thing wiht my drops-with feelng grumpy and the extra hot last few days she hasnt want to stress me *humph like she really cares* so has only been putting me through them once a day-apparently i am a real big baby with my drops....

Awwwwww I was hoping Fudge would not need any more ear drops. Still, its good news that the infection is starting to clear up

Tastey treats should help win Fudges trust !!
