https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/21187/retrobulbar-abscess-in-a-rabbitMy 6 year old rabbit has a retrobulbar abscess that has tracked elsewhere. My Vets have advised me against surgery as a poor prognosis. He has lost weight but eating and drinking, and surprisingly happy. He is currently on metacam BID and Betamax LAen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/142648?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 May 2013 20:56:43 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:2a080553-9b10-4cc0-be68-f97f180482f1Karen Lea<p>Thanks Mark for your reply. Believe it or not...he his still happy with a non functional eye that is still leaking pus from inside. He is eating &amp; drinking and to me has a fair quality of life. It&#39;s nearly 5 weeks now since it appeared! At any instance he stops eating and drinking and hopping around the garden happily it will be euthanasia.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/142635?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 May 2013 14:01:59 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:1dda29aa-1a8b-4887-b14c-5c2ea829912fMark Rowland<p>Hello,</p> <p>Eye enucleation is required in most cases. We give a fair prognosis to these cases. Usually the eye is non functional anyway and removing it allows debridement of the abscess.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Goodluck</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
