Once you have been discharged from the hospital, continue to take any antibiotics prescribed to you. You may be given medications such as penicillin for wound botulism. These antibiotics are generally taken for a period of 7 to 14 days. Make sure you take antibiotics for the full course of treatment, even if you are feeling better after just a few days. The full treatment is still necessary. Antibiotics are not prescribed for other types of botulism because they may speed up the release of toxins. Activated charcoal helps rid the body of toxins by preventing absorption in the stomach by binding to the poison. Activated charcoal can react with many medications in your system so be sure to take it only on the advice of a physician. Do not take other medications within two hours of taking charcoal, as the charcoal may prevent your other medication from being absorbed. Liquid activated charcoal may settle in the bottle so it must be shaken well before use. The usual adult dose is 50 grams of charcoal every four hours. There is some evidence to suggest that milk thistle aids in healing liver damage due to toxins. However, you should not take milk thistle without speaking to your doctor about it first. 160 to 800 milligrams per day of milk thistle has been taken in treating liver damage due to toxins. Use psyllium fibre as a gentle laxative cleanse to help remove any remaining toxins in your colon. Products such as Metamucil feature psyllium, which bulks up when mixed with water and forms a gel-like substance in the colon to help transport waste through the intestines. Speak with a physician before doing a cleanse. Some individuals may not be able to tolerate the treatment. Take 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of psyllium in one cup of warm water and drink immediately after mixing. Drink psyllium mixtures before bed for gentle overnight action.

Ear mites are very contagious. Because of this, everything the rabbit comes into contact with should be cleaned and disinfected in case they harbor mites or mite eggs. Dispose of all bedding materials and provide fresh bedding every day until the mites have been gotten rid of completely. Scrub and disinfect the hutch and run. Make sure to clean it often while your rabbit has the infection. Ear mites are highly infectious to other rabbits and can spread by direct contact. Therefore, all the rabbits in the household should be treated, too. In severe cases of ear mite infestation, there will be substantial scaling and discharge on the ears. Do not attempt to remove the crusting. Trying to forcibly remove this debris is liable to damage the skin or cause pain and bleeding. Instead, once the underlying ear mites infestation is treated, the debris will lift away over the course of one to two weeks. Once this process start to happen, particularly stubborn debris can be softened by the addition of a few drops of mineral oil into the ear. Drugs from the ivermectin family are highly effective at killing ear mites, although they do not kill the eggs. A course of treatment is necessary so that each generation of mites is killed once they hatch, but before they can lay more eggs. The life cycle of ear mites is three weeks, so dosing your rabbit every two weeks for three treatments is usually sufficient to stop any infection. The medicine should get rid of ear mites as long as the rabbit does not reinfect himself from the environment. The options for treatment include spot drops containing ivermectin, which are applied to the skin over the rabbit's shoulders. The active ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream, where it acts to kill the ear mites. Three doses are given, each a fortnight apart. It is important to weigh the rabbit and accurately follow the dosing instructions so as not to overdose the rabbit. Xeno is licensed for use in rabbits and should be the first choice of treatment. Other products are effective but not licensed, which means they have not been through the same rigorous testing on rabbits that Xeno has. Alternately, your veterinarian may give your bunny three doses of ivermectin, two weeks apart, by injection or by mouth. Treatment with over-the-counter products should be avoided. Rabbits are extremely sensitive to many insecticides, including the pyrethroid/pyrethrin family which is the active ingredient in many of these commercial mite killing products. In some cases, the rabbit may experience toxicity, the symptoms of which include neurological symptoms, such as loss of coordination, seizures, coma, and death. If the rabbit has a secondary bacterial infection due to the ear mites, then the vet may prescribe a course of antibiotics, such as Baytril to combat this. Painkillers from the non-steroidal family may be prescribed to ease discomfort while the mites are dying off.
