Our wee rabbit developed a head tilt 3 weeks back, Shes 6 months old and the first signs were flicking eyes and her head going from left to right constantly.
We took her to the vets and they prescribed baytril (2ml) and panacur (0.6ml) per day. Vet said she had a 50/50 chance and might have to be PTS
Within a day she was looking great and we were impressed with her progress.
Sadly a couple of days later her head had tilted over now. We revisited the vet fearing she would have to be PTS and going off their word as sadly we knew no better about head tilting etc.
He wanted to give her another try but this times as well at the baytril and panacur he prescribed metacam as well 0.75 per day
She just doesn't seem to be getting any better and has taken to loosing all balance now quite often ending on her side.
I have read quite a few threads and realise now this can be more distressing to us owners then our wee rabbits, but i still can't help but worry for her. She has lost her appetite but we trying everything to tempt her and shes eating slowly but surely but no where near her normal amount.
Reading this site i have read about stemitil? and zirthromax?
After nearly 3 weeks on the other meds and no progress forward should i be mentioning the above to our vets ? or am i best to source them myself?
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated
