One of our buns started having strange symptoms last Friday night. She was off her food (ate normally in the morning) but wouldnt eat in the evening.
The following day we took her to the vet who said her pasturella had flaired up. She has a history of sneezing, snuffles but is generally OK. Better than Ok infact, full of beans.
Sunday things got worse. She kept falling over and was walking against the wall to keep straight.
We looked it up and the thing is she only has trouble keeping balance. No head tilt, no eye flicking or rolling. When she falls over she has real trouble getting back up.
She cant drink out of her bottle, just the water bowl right next to her, same for food, she only eats whats right next to her.
We took her to the vet again who said "Looks like EC, you might want to consider... you know". No f'ing way! We had to convince him to take action. So we now have panacur for he suspected EC, ear drops for a possible ear infection and antibiotics also for the possible infection and the pasturella.
What other options do we have? There used to be a really good bunny savvy vet there but he doesnt seem to be around at the moment.
She seems fine. When you see her sitting in the corner its like any other day. Shes not wobbling, looks like she normally does until she walks.
The only other thing I notice is when I lift her right ear to give her a stroke she falls over. Lift the other and shes fine.
We have real trouble giving her oral meds. They just sit there, she wont swallow. So might have to use banana or see if we can get injection meds.
