I'd be ever so grateful if anyone can help. We don't seem to have any rabbit savvy vets around here, mumsnet managed to diagnos scabies in my poor bunnies last year after vet one told me it was a sawdust allergy and vet two (different practice) told me it was a herediatary autoimmune diagnose . Managed to get them diagnosed and treated for scabies once mumsnet had helped and now I need your help again.
One of my rabbits has a lopsided face. I'll try to attach a photo but you can't see it very well in pictures although it's very obvious in real life. The vet said she is swollen inside and out and salivating a lot on one side but other than that she can't see anything that could be causing it. She had an anti inflammatory injection yesterday but it's worse today. She's still eating but unable to drink or clean herself so I'm having to clean poo off her bottom and giving her lot she of watery veg, vet said she isn't dehydrated. Poor thing looks really deformed. One side of her face (around the mouth) is swollen but it's the other side that looks worse, it looks sucked in/dented, like my husband said, it looks like someone has bashed her on the side of the head with a bat (they definitely haven't btw!). It's just so uneven.
I've already paid £60 just to get her seen and have the injection that did nothing.
Any advice and suggestions would be very gratefully received
