Below is what has been going on with my rabbit Willow who developed head tilt.
I treated her and Toby with Panacur for 9 days. Then I have been treating WIllow everyday for 28 days (which will finish next week) and Toby once a week for the 4 weeks.
Willow's head tilt has gone. It went about the end of th 9day treatment and she has been fine throughout the treatment.
The vet did say I could have her blood tested after these 4 weeks if I thought it needed to be done but WIllow was seen by the vet last week and the Vet was very pleased with her and said she looked so much better.
I hope that this is the end of the treatment and Willow will be well from now on. I'm worried that her headtilt will come back when I stop giving her medicine but think that is just me being silly.
Where do I go from here in terms of keeping her well? Is it a case of giving them both Panacur preventively throughout the year as it is now suggested?
I am just so pleased she is better and looking like herself again.
My one year old female mini lop has head tilt. I noticed something different about her last weekend but thought I was imagining it. Took her to the vets on Monday and it was confirmed. She is on Panicur for 9 days and antibiotics via mouth. My male Lionhead Toby is also having the panicur. Thing is Willow is fine in herself, being naughty as usual, eating, drinking,playing etc but has this head tilt. The vet could see very little dirt down her ears to cause it by ear infection and I suppose has given me this medication to cover everything. I am going back this coming week. Willow looks a bit better, it wasn't very severe and the vet said I'd caught it early but I am worrying so much. I've read up stuff, and I've read too much stuff, stuff I wish I hadn't read. I'm worried about her and really do hope she is getting better and that it is an ear problem. I should be going away for a week from the 26th but unsure if to go as she may need more medication and I can't leave that responsibility for anybody else and I am just worried what to do for best. She isn't shaking her ears around as if they are bothering her. It would be better if I knew what was really causing it, I trust my vet but I worry so much.update
