Our bun Smudge had a stroke a month ago - we noticed as on half of her face started drooping and it was confirmed by our vet. She has recovered well with a strong appetite, good levels of energy and regular toilet.
The only thing she'd gone off was pellets.
A few weeks ago she started eating them again but stopped a few days ago which worried us. Then this morning I heard a sound looked over and she did a weird 360 degree roll, on her side, which I had never seen her do ever. Then tonight my girlfriend saw her have fit as if electricity had caused her body to full extension, rigid and taught.
We took her to the 24hr vet immediately - he gave her a pain relief/anti inflammatory and said she shouldn't have anymore tonight. However upon getting her home she did about 8 spasms of various intensities over the last hour often after eating Chudley's from her bowl - which made us wonder if she was fitting because her head was down - we took the bowl away and two since then, but none for the last 30 mins. She's very keen on her hay and to come out of her hutch/run.
We'd appreciate any thoughts or wisdom on the matter
Thank you
