I would be extremely grateful for any advice.
My 2 year old gorgeous Otter Rex has just had a stroke! I've rushed him up to the vets who gave him an injection to reduce the swelling around his brain!
Dillan's eyes are flicking and his head is tilted and he's slightly disorientated (he doesn't fall over). I recognised he'd had a stroke from these symptoms, so I acted immediately.
I've brought him home, my vet has also put him on something called "Panacur" (sorry, can't quite remember the name). He also suggested giving him Baytril.
I asked my vet for some Oxbo mix to syringe feed him with, just incase he wont eat normally.
My vet also suggested giving him "wide" leafy veg, so he has no problem seeing and eating it.
He's currently in an indoor hutch in a darkened room so he can rest. I'm keeping him warm and comfortable and keeping an eye on him.
What more can I do for Dillan? I have to take him back to the vets in the morning at 9.20am to assess him. I just want him to show improvement and not get any worse. Is there anything my vet can do for him? I've told him about this forum and is willing to act upon anything that will help Dillan.
Dillan is up to date with all his vaccines and is a good sized, normally healthy rabbit.
Please help if you can, I'm desperate!
Kind Regards
Carol
