He is so much better!
It's been a joy hanging out with him today, he has gone from lying all day in his litter tray like a vacant puddle of bunny, to running around and responding to Millie (she's been licking his ears, I think they are sore from the cannula). He is finally eating pellets, one after an another. He has developed very strong views about being given meds at regular intervals and his head isn't tilting at all (it was slightly when he came home). I haven't seen any head shaking or eye rolling either. I was giving him Reiki earlier and I opened my eyes when he made a strange noise to see if there was any weird neuro thing happening and he was just grinding his teeth in a happy way, stretched out with his eyes half shut (not in pain, still on metacam, just contented). His urination is back to normal too.
I'm so relieved but not relaxing yet. I contacted Veerle Dejonckheere, a vet herbalist, who put me onto the herb to give him when he was exhausting Millie with too much humping when he was young. She has recommended I speak to Dr Krissy Green who has a website at www.hoptoforage.co.uk where she sells different dried herbal mixes for different health conditions in rabbits. I'm really pleased with the progress on the acute phase but I want to do everything I can to prevent reinfection or reactivation, including strengthening his ability to fight it off.
I'm so grateful for all your help too, nothing beats personal experience.
