Hi Everyone,
I have posted on here a couple of times as my 14 week old bunnies have been having seizures. We've taken them to the vets, they have had blood tests for E Coniculi and Toxoplasmosis but both tests have come back as negative. I have posted the video below of one of them having a fit, about 30 seconds in you can see the seizure activity. They are both doing this.

They are currently on medication, Metacam and Baytril which we have to syringe orally twice a day. The vets had them in there for a 5-6 days last week to inject them with treatment for toxoplasmosis before the results came back but they did seem to improve. When we got them back last week, they were more active and they hardly had seizures anymore, they hadn't stopped but were definitely having less. Now it's been nearly a week since we have got them back and they seem to be fitting more again... i'm wondering whether it could be something environmental. Also, they are sisters and there are another 4 from the same litter and they are all fine. I'm leaning more away from neurological condition and environmental.
We have no idea what it could be at all. They are in a 2 tier hutch/run, over 6ft so lots of space, they have hay as bedding, normal water bottle, premium muesli food. They do have access to the grass in their run but that has never been treated with anything.
We painted the fence over two years ago so I don't think it could be that but does anyone have any other suggestions, seeing them fit and squeal is heartbreaking!
If we can't figure anything out then we will have to give back to previous owner as they were obviously ok there...
