Mallow Bunny Is Still Very Sick

[chomiji]

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.

I hope he gets better, it's no fun having a sick pet.
