Off to the vet with Moley again.

Last night he was a bit twitchy on the left side face and shaking his ear. Then he tried to eat a piece of hay and his head fell to the left side and he couldn't eat it. My immediate reaction was head tilt and ran to get the Panacur. After sitting with him a little longer and scratching his ear for him i suspect it's either something in his ear or his back molars. I gave him some pellets which he had no problem eating but he can't lift his ear and he keeps twitching. :( he always likes to cause me worry and we have no money left on the insurance .. Not that that matters.
He seems miserable this morning not lifting his ear and still twitching he came out for his breakfast which I am about to give them ... Hoping it's just something in his ear. Please could we have vibes. Thanks RU.
 
Moley!!!! Get well soon handsome.

Hopefully it's something straight forward for you.

Thanks for the vibes. His ear was clear and his teeth were fine. As with all animals he acted ok, didn't twitch and held his ear up no problems. Got him home, he can't eat his hay and won't put his ear back up!
The vet also found a melanoma on his eye, thinks it is probably a cyst and won't cause him any problems.
Anyway the original problem is a mystery and we have some Baytril and Panacur to treat him with incase there is a deeper infection.
 
Thanks all I gave him dinner and he seems a bit more perky stayed with him until he ate hay and eventually he did ... Phew. He is still not right but he is better then this morning!

With the symptoms you've described and the all clear vet check, I think Baytril and Panacur are the best way forward.

Hope he feels 100% soon x
 
Thanks all, the vet asked me if I was happy with the treatment rather then telling me, but it seemed like the best solution, my only niggle was if I could do any damage to him giving him Baytril if nothing was infected?
Anyway Moley is doing much much better back to his old self again, no twitching or eating to oneside he is also holding his ear up normally.... I swear he just likes to scare me :roll: or make me look like a crazy bunny hypercondriac. :lol:

Good to hear the lovely Moley is on the mend again (we need pictures to confirm of course :p)

I think being a crazy bunny hypochondriac goes with the territory of being a bunny space :lol: my bunnies can't breathe at times for me hovering over them and pannicking they're poorly :oops::lol:
 
As requested some photos of my little (big) monkey bun :lol:

He is one of my favourite RU bunnies so we (I) definitely need to see him more often :lol:
 
I've been thinking about Moley lately & wondering how he was doing. Sorry to hear about his strange episode, perhaps something was in his ear but it came out before he saw the vet & it was still a bit irritated? Glad he seems better now though. :love: he's such a handsome bunny
