It’s been 5 days since Ralph finished his antibiotics, and his eye still doesn’t look much better. He is still not holding it open all the way, and this morning I noticed crusty stuff around his eye which isn’t usually there. I need to get this figured out.
He was on the antibiotic “Tobramycin”, which was administered via eye drops. Is there a stronger non-steroid antibiotic that he could be on? When I took him in originally (on January 28), the vet that saw him prescribed the antibiotic “Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone”. After I got home I found out that this has a steroid in it, which isn’t good for chins. I called the clinic back, and spoke with another vet who doesn’t usually see chins, but sees rabbits and knew that steroids should be avoided if possible. He’s the one that prescribed the Tobramycin.
The only other thing that is out of place with him right now is that he’s not as interested in chewing on things. Everything else is fine (eating, pooing, peeing). He has lost weight since his eye problems, but he’s gained some weight in the past few days.
Thanks in advance for your input.
