Wise Old Thumper
Hiya,
I've been having trouble with Scooby, she's Zippy's sister so is an old girl too. Over time she's gradually losing the use of her back legs, now when I saying losing the use, she will walk on them but very rarely hops, if she does hop fast (like in her a run) she becomes a little off balance. I know it's a long shot but has anyone had anything similar, I am reluctant to have a GA and x-rays (also at no time has she sustained an injury, but I was meaning to see if there was a tumour) because of what happened to Joey the rabbit (for those that remember) and while it doesn't seem to be bothering her and she's getting around I am cautious of having too much done to her.
She's had a course of panacur (28 days) and I have just decided to start it again, I have even been giving her additional vit e and potassium. She isn't in any pain and can get into her litter tray etc, but she is unsteady and as a result of the lack of mobility is gaining some weight (which can not be helping). Her and Zippy never made it back outside after Zippy's last episode, so she is a warm and comfortable house bun.
Any help would be great?
