Sadly at the sanctuary where I work one of our young rabbits, who is only 10 weeks old, was found collapsed in the run yesterday.
She was rushed to the vets and it is suspected she has neurological problems. At the moment she can stand on her feet although is a little bit wobbly, but if she is lying down she cannot get herself to her feet.
At the moment it is suspected she has e.cuniculi and she is being treated for such. But the vet isn't 100% certain it is, and is running other tests as far as I am aware.
She has been x-rayed and scanned to rule out any damage to her spinal cord, no abnormalities were found.
Up to being found collapsed she was acting like a very normal, active young rabbit. She was born at the sanctuary and was reared out on foster with her mum and the rest of the litter. She had her Myxo vacc 2 weeks ago and has never had a health problem.
One of the other rabbits in the litter also now has a slight head shake. All of the litter are being treated with Panacur, as is mum.
Is there anything other than e.cuniculi that could be causing these problems?
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
