I *think* Maddie had a fit this morning :cry: *been to vets*

What does a fit look like?

Maddie was on her way over to me this morning when she was suddenly on her side struggling and moving up and down, hard to describe really she was shaking her head around as well, it went on for about 20 seconds then she lay still and jumped up, she tried to walk to me but couldn't move then did a couple of body shakes (like a wet dog would) and hopped over to me.

I am convinced this was a fit :cry: OH said maybe she slipped over and couldn't get up properly but i am not convinced. I held her for ages and she is fine now but i am so worried, she is getting on a bit now :cry:

I have never seen one hun but would go straight to the vets if one of mine did that

How scary for you, I hope she is ok x
 
It does sound like a little fit :(

I would get her on panacur for today and pop her to the vets for a check up tomorrow.

Sending lots of vibes for her xxx
 
Thanks Liz, do you know what might cause it? She had 6 weeks of panacur last year for suspected EC (weeing all over herself and slight head tilt) do you think it could be connected?
I will phone my vet first thing to get an appointment, she doesn't do emergencies, its a non bunny savvy vet that covers that :roll: She is now hopping around and nomming like nothing happened :shock:
 
I agree with Liz...it does sound like a fit :(

Might also be worth checking for issues that could affect her balance too...ear infection, EC, etc
 
It could have a number of causes but if you have panacur and metacam to hand I would definately give her some today. I wouldn't rush her to the vets as she is OK in herself now. Best to wait until you can see the vets you want :)

Given her history then I suppose EC is the most likely cause. But an infection might cause similar symptoms :?

How old is she and how long ago was she neutered?

Not entirely sure of age but C thinks shes around 4/5 years, she was neutered a year and a half ago when she came into rescue.
 
I thought my bunny was having fits, it turned out she had headtilt due to an ear infection.
EC is another reason this could be happening.
Loads of vibes and nose rubs xx

I was only asking because of Dumpling, but I'm sure its not that. If anything abnormal had shown up in the spay I am sure you would know :)

Even if it is caused by EC I have had several bunnies carry on for at least a couple of years while having EC related fits :)
