Hi sorry but was just wondering whether there is anyone out there who can give me some advice?Sorry if this is has been answered else where!. :wave:
Feel really bad at the moment for my little ones - have three rabbits - two older females and recently introduced a boy. My older girl Thumper had a chest difficulties prior to the introduction so I know that my new little boy Spike didn't pass this onto her.
Recently my other girl Flump has been wobbly on back legs - sometimes looks like she has slightly more difficulty with her right leg but overall she appears 'drunk'. She also poos on my carpet even though she is litter trained. She is eating and drinking as normal and trying her best to get around but looks really bad
Feel guilty incase my new fella passed it on or it developed cos she was recently stressed because we were decorating her room (she hates change) and she had to be put somewhere new with the others.
Went to vet who admitted that she didn't know what the problem was. Therefore she is treating her for everything -baytril, metacam her for possible spinal injury (she's a jumper) Vet didn't mention e cuniculi until I went on about it and thought that it wasn't that and just 'keep an eye on the others' .... Vet didn't even want to give me panacur to the others as a precaution until I insisted :evil:
She eventually gave in - got panacur for them all and have disinfected their living area - altho flump is now separated(according to vet to keep her leg still incase it is a spinal injury).
Sorry for length of the description of what has happened!
1)Do people agree that it sounds like EC? - in my heart I think it is
2) Should I be keeping her leg still or allowing her time to walk around gently on my rug to develop her leg muscles?
3) When will she be able to be reintroduced back to her group? She loves being around other rabbits the most
Sorry for the essay! Thanks for any advice in advance
