Hi there I have a lil Netherland lion head dwarf bun. We got him at six weeks and five days. At four months old he started having what look like seizures and the vet said they doo too. No head tilt but full on collapses and seizures and re occuring hi staisis. I recently put Binky on YouTube to try to get help for him as when I take him to the vets he has a huge seizure or collapse through fear. I do not want to sedate him incase it slows his gut more or he reacts. It's a tough one. He is tested with gut stimulator. Fibreplex daily. Usually gut stimulator only when he shows GI symptoms and metcam for pain. His channel is called rabbit special needs. I was talking to someone in there some really lovely people and they directed me here. Could you help with any advice for Binky please? The vet said anti seizure medication can cause other issues in the gut. Steph and Binky

We have a member on the Forum who has a rabbit which has seizures and she may be able to offer you some advice. She will be back on line in the morning.

Hi there. Seizures in Rabbits can be caused by various things including a condition called Encephalitozoon Cuniculi (EC), which is probably the most common cause.

It has been suggested that Lionheads may have a congenital predisposition to developing seizures but of course not all Lionheads are effected and non Lionheads can develop seizures too.

Perhaps you could discuss the possibility of Binky having EC with your Vet ? You will see what treatment options there are on the links I have posted above

Wow that's so interesting thank you!!! I've spoke to the vets they weren't that helpful. They said is 'it' in pain?? Plus he developed a fear of the vets and had a seizure web we took him .

Thank you. I'm new here not sure what I'm doing . I'm normally on YouTube where his seizures are shown . It's hard to get bumped up on there! So trying everything. Thank you so very much
