Any advice much appreciated if anyone has any, please. I went to Tesco this afternoon, rabbits were fine. Got back, looked out the window & Rhia was flailing around on her back. Getting up, throwing herself on her side. By the time I'd grabbed the phone to ring the vet & got out to her, she was a complete dead weight, her eyes were shut & the only indication that she was still alive is that she was breathing.
On getting to the vets, she had a real thorough examination & she had come round a little bit, but they literally could not find anything the matter. She was still subdued and lethargic in the vets & she said it seemed like there was something brewing, but goodness knows what. She was going to keep her in for monitoring but Rhia doesnt 'do' vets & knowing her like I do, they make her worse, so I have her home.
She's still very quiet, the weirdest thing is that she's acting as though she's never been fed. I know this is a rabbity trait, but she seriously cannot get food in fast enough.
I'm at a complete loss. I think if I hadn't caught her straight away, she'd have died. I am honestly amazed that she is still alive. She is subdued & not herself, but she is alert & eating/pooing etc. I'm so worried though that this will happen again when Im at work. I dont know where to go with it at the vets or anything? Could it have been some kind of seizure? Vet mentioned that it could be something causing problems actually inside her inner ear. I dont know.
