Edgar my english lop was absolutely fine yesterday but about half 2 this morning I heard I heard him clattering around his crate. At first I thought he was getting amorous with his girlfriend (they are both neutered but occassionally he remembers he is supposed to do something), but she was under my bed asleep. I got up and he came to over to me but as I started stroking him his head started to severly tilt, so that his eye was staring straight up to the ceiling. I stayed up with him most of the night and this morning his head tilt was almost completely gone and he's was moving around ok (if rather slowly), eating, though very little hay (he normally goes nuts for Oxbow Timothy and could easily eat a whole bag in one sitting).
I took him to the vets first thing and was told that he must have E.C, so I was given some Panacur and advised to treat him for 9 days (I did say that I thought that it was supposed to be 28 days at the very least if they had symptoms, but the vet said to try 9 days and see how it goes :roll.
At the moment he is in his crate with Jerry (his girlfriend). He's very quite and lethargic but is eating, still not much hay, but has had some pellets and a few bits of veg (plus a piece of brown bread that I put the panacur in).
Does it sound like E.C to you? Is there anything else that I should be doing? I usually use F10 disenfectant on their stuff, but I read that I should clean their cage and litter tray with a mild bleach solution, is that just normal everyday bleach that you put down the toilet and drains?
Oh, and I am of course treating Jerry as well.
