One of my housebuns, Martha, came down with EC last August. She was so poorly we thought we'd lose her. She needed 3 steroid injections and a course of metacam, only then did she start to move around (very gingerly) this was about 2 weeks after she first became ill. Gradually, her walking improved and she started eating properly again. After a few months she was back to being able to jump up on the sofa and move around freely. She still has balance issues and falls over sideways. But it really has been a remarkable recovery, which I wanted to share to give hope to other owners whose poor bunnies get this nasty illness.
This is her after her first trip to the vet - she was completely paralysed in this position:
her front legs were permanently crossed and her head at a funny angle
my husband built her this tunnel so she could sit up and start to strengthen her legs
This week we let her out in the garden for the first time since she got ill - she loved it, lots of binkies, which admittedly were landed very badly! but she was getting better at each attempt! Here she is in the garden:
