unable to move and lays on her side
I'm truly sorry to hear about your rabbit's condition. The symptoms you're describing—head tilt, loss of appetite, and inability to move—are indeed very concerning and could indicate a serious underlying issue.
One possibility is an ear infection. If this is the case, you might notice redness, swelling, or discharge from your rabbit's ears. While you can gently clean the outer ear with a damp cloth, it's important not to insert anything into the ear canal. This is only a temporary measure, and professional veterinary care is essential.
Another potential cause could be a neurological issue, which involves the central nervous system. Unfortunately, these problems are complex and require a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a veterinarian. There's not much that can be done at home for neurological issues without professional guidance.
Gastrointestinal stasis (GI stasis) is also a possibility, especially given the loss of appetite. This condition is life-threatening and demands immediate veterinary attention. Symptoms of GI stasis include a lack of fecal pellets, bloating, and lethargy.
Given the severity of your rabbit's symptoms, it's crucial to seek veterinary care immediately. Rabbits can deteriorate quickly, and prompt treatment is essential for the best outcome. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
i fed the bunny some milk and it’s doing just fine it’s walking around like nothing happened i dont know what happened
I'm glad to hear that lola is doing better and is walking around again. It sounds like lola might have experienced a temporary issue that has since resolved, but it's still important to keep a close eye on them for any recurring symptoms.
