Mallow Bunny Is Still Very Sick
He really wasn't looking any better, so I took him back to the vet today.
Dr. Schwartz is wondering whether it's a bad inner ear infection thing. He also mentioned the possibility of a brain abscess, but he looked into Mallow's eyes and decided that probably wasn't it.
He gave the bun two new medications, a broader-spectrum antibiotic (Baytril) and an anti-inflammatory, and gave him some more fluid. And he gave me the subcutaneous fluid setup to take home, and I just muddled through giving him some for the first time myself.
Dr. Schwartz said that if he doesn't look better in a couple of days, the prognosis is very bad.
Mallow is still eating, but somewhat more slowly. I'm trying to keep him clean, but it's very difficult.
