my rabbit is sick

[creativetwinszoo]

I'm not sure if I should post this here (if not, please let me know I'll post in right place!!)


OK here goes

One of my rabbits, smokey I think has an inner ear infection.
From what I've read and researched on its very likely. (I unfortunately do not have any cash to go to the vet at this time ;_; )
Anyone who owns rabbits, can you please help me out? I've read there are a few medications that can be given
Baytril, zithromax (azithromycin) and bicillin
Which would be the best do you think to use? Or if anyone has better advice maby?

Her symtoms;
She's got one ear down and does not make any response as if she hears from that ear, but she acted that way when the twinnie got her so I wasn't sure if she was just deaf in that ear. Her head is now tilted towards the 'deaf ear' and when she walks she sometimes half drags her left hind leg behind her and rolls sharply when she gets some speed going. I see no discharges on her nose or from her eyes (past a normal little eye 'boogers') I didn't check her ear but I will do so as soon as I return home. Any help will be appreciated! Thank you again in advance!

Don't have any advice, but hope she's OK.

Have you tried asking at the BackYardHerds page? This might have some info.

So I hadn't yet got any feed on suggestions for Smokey's illness but I went to check her today and weirdness!! (Thank you WendyJ for the link as well!)

No weird ear (I looked, saw nothing.) And more weird she's hopping just like normal again and her heads not tilted anymore!! She's eating fine as well (actually quite heartily!) So I'm not sure if she just freaked out so much because I picked her up, she's kinda skittish- and traumatized herself in the process? Super weirdness to me.

I am happy for you and Smokey. While I can't help much with rabbit illness, I was worried for you both.
