My 5 year old Netherland Dwarf, Asha, has come down with severe headtilt about a week ago. She has been on daily baytril and metacam injections since. Yesterday was the first day without injections (Sunday) and she deteriorated dramatically so that I had to go back to syringe feeding her.
We are due back to the vets this afternoon to discuss further treatment and also to pick up Lapazole (Panacur) which had to be ordered in specifically.
On another forum Meclizine , a drug to treat motion sickness, has been recommended. Unfortunately I can't get it over the counter in Ireland and it has to be ordered in with prescription from the vet. My vet was not too familiar with these type of drugs for rabbits and understandably has been reluctant to prescribe anything. I wonder is there a European equivalent of this drug that can be safely used on rabbits?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
