Foster has been battling head tilt for five weeks now. He's much improved For about a week and a half, his tilt was so bad his head was completely twisted around and he couldn't move without rolling. Luckily he never lost his appetite, but he couldn't move to get to his food or water, so I had to hand feed him and syringe water.
I took these photos about a week and a half ago, when he first started to improve and could move again. He's much better now. Less tilty and bouncing around, using his litter tray and not rolling at all, so I've moved his bumpers out (there are rolled up towels under the hay around the sides of the pen).
I'll get some recent pics soon, but I thought I'd share these as I know there are a few members with head tilt buns. When Foster was at his worst I searched all the previous threads for hope. I had a head tilt bun years ago (the reason I joined the forum), but she was never as bad as Foster.
