Binky Bunny
Young Bun
Hi, it's been a while since I posted on here but would like to know if anyone has any thoughts on waht could be wrong with my bunny, Lucky.
Until last August she was regularly stopping eating and pooping, often very suddenly and sometimes after she had what appeared to be a seizure. It was happening every 2 months. Since moving house in September she's been ok, until last Thursday and it's happened again.
She's been tested for E.C. which came back negative, but from what I've read she seems to have a lot of the signs, loss of use of back legs, shivering and sometimes rolling onto her back with her eyes rollling too. However, she doesn't have any head tilt and doesn't go round in circles in one way. Also, this has been happening for the last 2 years on and off and the last vet we saw about this suggested she'd have got a lot worse if it was EC.
Sometimes she'll be eating fine, binkying around the living room and suddenly she'll sit down and when we go and check her she's shivering and not taking treats, which she normally goes crazy for.
The vets have also mentioned epilepsy, but she doesn't always have an actual seizure, just goes quiet, shivers and doesn't take treats as well as loosing control of her bowels.
Each time we go to the vets she has metacam & maxolon and we have the maxolon, fibreplex and critical care formula to home nurse her. We also have panacur which we gave to her last August for 7 days after not being well the last time, we're considering giving that again as it may have been a coincidence but after the last course she went 6 months without an episode.
So, anyone any ideas as our vets can't put their finger on anything even though they are very good and rabbit savvy and it would just be comforting to have any idea of what we are treating!
