Hello all,
You've all been very helpful before, and I'm hoping you can help again. My rabbit was slightly off this morning, and when we came home from work he was disorientated, confused and tilted to one side.
We took him to the emergency vet- the vet was not a rabbit specialist but said the diagnosis was likely to be head tilt e cono - I'm sure you know what it is. The vet couldn't find any infection in the ear. My rabbit's pupils were very slow at dilating, which he said pointed towards the parasite.
He didn't have the medication for the parasite, but said my rabbit might now have brain damage. The vet gave a steroid to reduce swelling, and a pain relief. He kept on emphasising that it's unlikely he will survive.
My partner is hoping to take my rabbit to the vet (rabbit savvy) tomorrow. We've brought them home
, but it's horrible seeing him so disorientated. He's also not eating much at all.
Can any of you give me any advice on what to do tonight?
Sorry if I sound slightly unfriendly, and demanding- I'm in tears right now.
Thanks
