Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Rabbit, Diseases

Objectives:

To determine a Successful surgical management of periorbital abscess in rabbit.

Methodology:

A one-year-old, female pet rabbit of 1.5 kg body weight was brought to Teaching Veterinary Hospital, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chittagong, Bangladesh with a history of gradual swelling near to the right eye since ten days and as well as inappetence and chronic weight loss. Physical examination revealed closure of the eyelids, lacrimation, pale mucous membrane, pain on palpation and fluctuating swelling in the periorbital region of the right eye which extended 3 cm away from the medial canthus. Needle exploration revealed caseous materials and radiographic examination revealed swelling in the affected area and no bony involvement. Preoperatively blood was collected from the radial vein to know the blood parameters. Preoperative blood parameters revealed total erythrocyte count (TEC) 1.65 million/cumm, PCV (17.0%), Hb 8gm% and ESR 0 mm in 1st hour. The percentage of Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Basophil, Lymphocyte and Monocyte were found 26.0%, 8.0%, 1.0%, 60.0% and 5.0% respectively. After aseptic preparation and ring block anesthesia by 2% lignocaine hydrochloride, a stab incision was done at lower aspect of the abscess and evacuated the pus by manual gentle pressure and reduced the swelling immediately. The abscess cavity was dressed with Tr. Iodine and the cavity filled with gauze soaked with Tr. Iodine. The advice was given to dress the abscess cavity every alternative day until healing the wound. Postoperatively, Flucoxacillin (Tab. A-flox®, The ACME Laboratories, Dhaka, 200 mg) @ 10 mg/kg body wt. orally daily once for 7 days and Ciprofloxacin and Dexamethasone combination (Ciprodex ® eye drop, Alcon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. India) instilled one drop at each eye three times daily for 7 days as a supportive treatment of lacrimation. Vitamin B-complex preparation (Syp. B-50 vet®, Square Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Dhaka, Bangladesh) 1 tsp daily for 5 days was also administered to improve the blood parameter. Postoperative dressing with Tr. Iodine was done as the condition of the abscess.

Achievement/Findings:

The present study revealed decreased TEC, Hb and PCV probably due to inappetence for long days that indicates animal was suffering from anemia. To improve the anemic condition postoperatively vitamin-B complex was administered as supportive therapy. Blood parameters revealed increased number of eosonophil probably due to rabbit suffering from parasitic infestation.
