could anyone help me please? about a week ago i had to rush my rabbit to the vet's. his head was tilted to one side, he couldn't walk - kept rolling over, very unbalanced, his breathing was laboured and his eyes kept rolling. such a sad sight! my dad took me to the vet's with him and the vet told me that considering his age and breed it was most probably a stroke. he said there was a chance that he might make it if i wanted to try, which i obviously did. so that weekend consisted of syringe feeds every two hours and LOTS of cuddles! lol! the vet gave him antibiotics to rule out the possibility of something or other (all a blur!) and told me to come back on monday, although he didn't seem very hopeful. but my likkle sooty fought and was much better for the vets on monday, the vet was surprised to see us (optimism for you, eh?!) but said it would still be a long drawn out process of getting him better!
i was just wondering if anyone who has had experience of this in the past has any advice for me? will his head tilt go? will he regain his balance? will he be able to return to his outside hutch? (he's been living inside with us and i don't really want him to go outside again, but i'll have to talk my parents round!)
thanx
