hi all
my bunny has been acting strangely for a while but i had put it down to arthritus. i checked her his morning and she appears to have headtilt! her head is only slightly to oneside but when i put her on the ground she as having trouble walking properly. I have seen headtilt before and do think this is the onset. I am due at the vet later. I started her on baytril and metacam yesterday and i asume i'm going to want panacur for her. The one thing i'm not too sure about is steroids. I had a bunny with this last year although it was very severe and i lost him within 48 hours, He was given steroids as it was so bad. With this not being too severe would she still want steroids or would i be better to see how she goes. i know steroids can have an adverse efffect on the immune system and i don't want to risk them if she will be o.k without at this stage. any advice would be much appreciated!
