Oh, Woe Is Us .. New Pics ..It's been a rough few days around here dear members. Here's some pics from today that include Olympia and Baker's new babies, Louie Louie the new adoptee, Licorice with a very big eye problem, and OT, but one of the three abandoned rabbits from the duck pond park.
For the past couple of days it seems that everywhere I go or turn that there is something dead or hurt or in need of assistance .. sorry to be whining  http://www.rims.net/2008Jan28 Terry

I am so sorry, Terry!!
Don't think you are whining at all! How in the world, with ALL YOU DO, would anyone expect that everything would always be sunshine and roses! We know how MUCH you do and few could do as well. Rescuers and rehabbers are SUCH SPECIAL PEOPLE! I DO hope Licorice's eye will be OK!! AND, with the weather the way its been, I don't blame you for feeling "down!" DOING MY BEST TO SEND LOVE, HEALING THOUGHTS, HUGS AND SCRITCHES TO ALL... Might be a good time to take a "quick" break...have a hot cup of tea or coffee or..., put your feet up and just relax and re-group... I know you will keep us updated! Love Shi & Squeaks

Well, Licorice has some severe conjunctivitis that better get taken care of. There's a lot of underlying inflammation. Better hit with Metronidazole and probably Doxycycline. Get some antibiotic ophthalmic ointment on that eye, too.

Wouldn't you like to know who dumped those rabbits so you can say...SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE!
 It just disgusts me how irresponsible some pet owners insist on being. I'm sorry you're having a rough time, I know there are those stretches where it seems like so many things are sick or dying, it's very disheartening. I hope things settle down, everyone feels better, and someone finds the other bunny.

Thank you Shi, Pidgey, and MJ! We're hanging in there, but I'm gettin' a bit "stretched" here .. just too much in too short a time. I'll spare you all of the road kill stories.
Pidgey .. Licorice is on meds .. BUT .. I think the problem is bigger than can be seen in that one picture. His eyes look like he is a Budapest Tumbler with infection .. very scary looking stuff. And, there is something that looks like a growth or bubble just under the cornea of the eye. I tried for better pics tonight but just couldn't manage any with only one pair of hands. Terry

Thank you for taking in all the needy rabbits, I'm so sorry you are so overwhelmed...again. The babies are all adorable.
I'm sorry to see Licorice's eye looks bad, I hope he responds to the meds soon. He is such a cutie! Sending a BIG hug too you!

Terry,
With all that you do I doubt anyone would think you are whining. It's got to take alot out of you with all the injuries you take in... you see so much of the results of mean, negligent ex-pet owners  Olympia and Baker's new babies are so wonderfully cute - can't help but smile looking at them I hope Licorice gets better quickly!! I know you will keep us posted on the treatment and recovery. I'll keep the little guy in my prayers for sure.And I'm so sorry to hear about the bunnies - though I'm glad you were able to get one of them. I just don't understand people who can just abandon animals. How I wish I was closer so I could be of some help to you! Since I am on the other coast I will send as many prayers and warm, comforting thoughts / hugs as possible!!! P.S. MJ -- I love that card

Thanks for the posts, everyone. Licorice was started on 1/4 tab of 22.7 mg Baytril twice per day and 1/8 tab of 250 mg metronidazole twice per day. I do have the Gentamicin drops and am using that too. Licorice weighs approx 260 grams which is actually a pretty good weight as s/he is very small for his/her age. I'm quite worried that Licorice has some genetic and/or development issues that are not going to bode well for a long and happy life .. hope I'm wrong about that.
Terry PS: I do have Doxycycline if that is a better choice than the Baytril. Last edited by TAWhatley; 29th January 2008 at 12:27 PM.

It depends on what's causing the conjunctivitis which is probably going to be a wild guess on our part. There are more horrible things that cause conjunctivitis that respond to Tetracyclines than those that respond to Baytril. I suppose I'd keep a close watch and if I didn't see any reduction of symptoms within a short period, I'd switch to the Doxycycline.
