Vet didn't think it was EC given her symptoms etc but yeah I'm grabbing some medication from petshop on my way home, doesn't hurt to treat her with that just in case.
I know there are varying opinions on Panacur

Hi Dave, I'm sorry Fluffy is poorly. My bun Sydney is unwell with a head tilt too. We don't know if it's an inner ear infection or E.C but he is being treated with Panacur as a precaution along with an antibiotic and has had steroids too.
If I can be of any help or just someone to chat to who's been going through similar, please let me know x

Feisty is never a bad thing in my eyes 
It might feel like it when you are battling to get the critical care into them but I'd rather have a feisty bun than one that has given up!
What sort of treat did you try to give her? When Hiro first got his tilt he really went off solid foods like pellets, fenugreek crunchies etc but he would still eat hay, greens and dried forage like Dandelion and Plantain

Had another steroid injection today and also got some Baytril to give to her, still syringe feeding at the moment. Fluffy is eating little bits now and then at least.
Still unstable when she's walking around but she seems to be getting used to it, hoping she will come around slowly now as I'm fed up of her looking miserable

She ate some breakfast today too, I decided to sit there whilst she was in the litter tray and kept pushing it into her face, she kept taking bites of it which was good.
She still doesn't really want to eat on her own yet but doing everything possible to tempt her, she's not had a syringe feed this morning due to her having breakfast.
I've got some plantain and other random stuff growing in the yard so will try her with that in a bit.

Plantain is usually very popular. Fresh herbs often tempt a poorly Rabbit to eat too, especially coriander.
