Hi I have been following Leesabuntime thread regarding her bunny as we are going through the same with our Binky. Last sunday night I went to give him and his girlfriend supper and to turn their light out for the night. I notice Binks was hopping and hobbling just as if his paw was giving him pain we checked and couldn't see anything wrong. He seemed ok apart from this, still eating etc so decided to get him checked by vet in morning. When I went in in the morning to my horror his head was severely tilted I knew straight away what it was and rushed him straight to the vets. He's on Panacur 28 day course meta cam and baytril. He's eating and drinking as normal but in last few days I'm having to syringe water into him as he is so titled he cannot get to his bottle and I'm scared he will flop into a bowl of water. He absolutely adores bio lapis which we are pleased about so this will help his tummy.
He is in a two by two foot box to keep him safe as he was just rolling around in his room before when he had too much space. Today is day seven and we are feeling much more positive as his balance has improved a lot he is still wobbly but staying up right much more now, head still tilted but he's sitting up more as the hrs go by. Hubby's been off all week for half term and I'm sure his improvement has been down to him constantly sitting with him hand feeding him strands of hay, veg and pellets and changing his bedding so he's not getting wet. We have him on towels with puppy pads on top with bumpers round the edge for him to lean on.
As I said we are more positive as the days go by but we realise this is going to be a long job to hopefully getting him well again. He's five next month so not really young but he is a little trooper so hopefully he will pull round.
Hubby just said what if he is still dizzy after his 28 day course of treatment are bunnys normally ok my then or can it take longer and if so what meds need to be given after or do we just carry on after the 28 days with the same meds but just for until he is better?
Sorry it's a long essay and thanks for reading
