Tooth Root Abcess in aging rabbit

Rating: 10

My 12 year old rabbit has a tooth root abcess which the vet said would be too expensive and traumatic a surgery to put him through. In January she drained the puss from his cheek and put him on antibiotics. He had terrible diarreah on it but I gave it to him all the way through and cleaned him up everyday. He is old and has other health problems, Arthritis, blindness, etc. She suggested putting him down but I will not do it. He is enjoying his life, eating, drinking etc. But his eye is now excreting the same white substance from the abcess and I am cleaning the eye the best I can with eye solutions. Do you know of anything else I can do for him? If I call her she might suggest putting him down again which I refuse to do - II don't want to put him back on antibiotics because I don't want him to suffer diarreah again - he only weighs 3 pounds.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Cheryl
