Hi all,
It has been a while since i have been on here but i really need your opinions please,
So I had a trio Tilly, Milo and Marley, until Tilly started getting ill last year, she was an old bun so i think her symtoms were at first related to old age, but as time went on i suspected EC, she was incontinent and no longer using her litter tray, which slowly got worse and worse, then she slowly lost weight and sadly we eventually lost her.
Milo started to become disorientated a little while after Tilly died, (oct11) he got head tilt and the rapid eye movement, the vet put him on antibiotics just incase it was an ear problem and put him on a 29 day course of panacur (which i also gave my other rabbit).
His head tilt improved alot, but left him with a very slight tilt, he has seemed fine since, eating well, drinking well, the only thing i had noticed is that my once litter trained boy is peeing anywhere.
I have noticed in the last 2 months that he is not using one of the ramps into part of his hutch, he has 2 ramps, and is not using the steeper one, he doesn't look like he has lost weight as he's a ball of fluff but he does feel smaller to me now, and his back legs do look weaker. He has lost alot of fur on his back legs and was wondering if it was because of the urine??????? although he is not wet underneath,his skin is not sore just pink.
I really want to keep this under control, i don't want to lose him, He is due to start his Panacur, but do i do the short dose or the 29 day dose, also how often should this be done???????
and what should i do about the loss of hair ???????
Any advice would be very helpful, I need to know how to keep him healthy,he is due for the vets in the next week for his myxi jab, is this still ok to go ahead with???????
My other bun seems fine
many many thanks to anyone who can advise
