Hello...had to create a new account as i couldnt rember my other username haha.

Well....I discovered yesterday when I went out to see Misty my 3 year old mini lop that she was dragging her back end. Booked her into the vets and he said it could be parasites thats attacking her nervous system and has given her a course medicine to take for 10 days. Ohh boy its hard work getting it into her!!!

Just afew question!...

Where do the parasites come from?
Has anyone had any dealing with a rabbit with parasites?

Cheers

Charlotte
 
Update............

Misty is on her 3rd day of treatment...I feel so sorry for her though! She seems to really struggle walking we are keeping her in her cage as much as possible and letting her in for some company for a little while at a time!

Hope she gets better soon!
