Sorry to make another thread but this is unrelated to my other and thought it best to post in the right section. I apologise for the long post but background is needed.
I've just gone to feed the bunnies and I noticed Xena was "off". She is eating and hopping about but there was definitely something not right with the way she was moving. I picked her up and she tried to struggle but couldn't. I lifted her up a few inches or so off the floor so her back legs dangled and she just hung there as if she couldn't actually move.
She is jumping up and down from things but is certainly not right and she seems to be struggling to see but not sure if that's just because of her odd gait.
She has had e.c before and had a seizure with it, which paralysed her front legs and left her leaning to one side (she got the use of her legs back). She is on panacur already as I had suspected a relapse when she started peeing everywhere a few weeks ago. I've given her some metacam as well just in case.
Question is: Do I just continue doing this and monitoring her condition or do I need to see an emergency vet? Unfortunately, my vets are closed until Tuesday now and the out of hours vets are not good with rabbits.
Thank you for any replies. X
