Wise Old Thumper
I want some opinions please. My lovely big french lop Teddy has suddenly developed nystagmus, he is 10 years old and eye sight is not brilliant anyway having cataracts in both eyes which doesn't help. I took him straight to the vets on Thursday as an emergency, the vet feels given his age and symptoms it could be a few different neurological problems including a possible stroke. He does have an ear infection which I was hoping could have been the cause but he's been on antibiotics and ear drops since Thursday and showing no improvements he's going in circles and can't seem to see anything. He's still eating very well and drinking. I guess I'm trying to get my head around making the best decision for him, he isn't coming out into the run as he's going in circles and I'm really torn as to what to do. I want to try and give him a few more days and hope for a miracle. The vet feels its not appropriate to prod and poke him too much given his age which he thinks is amazing for a giant. Advice welcome
