Hi all,

Ive had loads of advice on here for my wee bunny with head tilt.

Just wondered if anyone had any opinions on when i should try to encourage him to walk.....he is managing to stand up a wee bit...but then walks in a circle.

Should i try to get him on the carpet and walking, or just leave him for a while.

Been only two days since the head tilt first came.

Thanks in advance

Kirsty
 
As he gets better he will probably try and do it himself - I would leave it till then.
Perhaps just make sure he has enough area to try walking if he wants to. If he is currently in a confined space with padding try putting that within a larger area (you may be looking at getting a large indoor run/cage for the duration as he will not be outdoors again for a while).

Good Luck!!
