Its definately not your fault!!
My bun got head tilt at the end of April and has still got it....he is back to normal apart from having a tilted head, just sees the world from a different angle.
How bad is his tilt? Is he rolling, does he have nystygmus (flickering eye)?
Think you need to get him to the vets and on panacur and baytril first thing tomorrow.
If you have any questions about head tilt buns, i can answer best i can with my experience with kermit.....i feel for you right now, hope he gets through it .
Is it right that a sudden head tilt is more likely to be caused by an ear infection and not EC?? Could you ask your vet to check for this too?
If he has a suspected case of EC (the brain parasite) then he needs treatment for 6 weeks, the other buns that havent got symptoms are fine with the 9day course.
My kermits head straightened slightly, but he still has a very noticeable tilt, but i still love him! However i have read of many cases where the head simply rectifies itself over time, fingers crossed for you that this will happen.
Is your vet definately sure that it is brain related, im not doubting your vet, but just want to check that she has rules out an inner ear infection, as this can have the same symptoms as EC.
My boy was much worse, he couldnt even stand when he got head tilt, and if he tried to then he just continually rolled, he was like this for about 4-6weeks! Its just taken him until now, 6months later, to start to really resemble the bunster he was!!
At least your baby sounds better than kermit was!
Here is a link to see how ill my boy was (excuse the adverts & my accent!!), this was after two weeks, he was far too bad previous to that for me to even think about videoing him!

could you get a blood test hun to confirm the e.c? idont think its very professional for a vet to diagnose anything without proof. if it is e.c i would treat all your buns just incase as with Hazel being the dad to a couple of your buns its possible he could have passed e.c through mating.
One of my rabbits has just developed headtilt today
The vet has put her on a long course of panacur, a course of baytril and a high dose of metacam to try and reduce the inflamation in the brain.
I am going to see if after this box has finished it recurs, if it does then i will keep him on it for life.
