    Not persistent head tilt? Is it head tilt??

    Thank you for your response. I was thinking TIAs also as he hasn't gotten progressively worse. I'll keep you updated.

    Not persistent head tilt? Is it head tilt??

    Hi, My Zue is just over 10 years old. He has never had any health issues. His pal of 8 years passed away two years ago. Anyway, three days ago, for the first time, I saw Zue spinning in circles. His head wasn't tilted as photos portray, but rather literally turned to the left. When he...

    Bunny Mourning

    Thanks, Aki. I guess I'm not sure if Zeuy realizes that bob isn't coming back. I guess I assumed he'd mourn more like your rabbit or your friends. I haven't had any real clear signs. I am wondering if I'll come home one day and see that he's no longer waiting for bob, and he realizes and...

    Bunny Mourning

    Hi again, JBun, and thanks. He does seem to be behaving normally, but I wasn't sure if that meant he wasn't sure yet of bob being gone forever. I'm glad to have been able to be home the past week and a half to watch him. But I'm back to work now so I'more worried. They were always...

    Bunny Mourning

    Hi Everyone, Last week, my handsome Bob passed. I had him all of his 8 years. He left behind his pal, Zeus and they have been together all but 6 months of their lives. Bob died at the vet, although Zeuy was there during Bob's seizure and sensed something was wrong. After, we took Zeus to...

    Sudden Paralysis

    JBun, The third article you shared, the more technical one, was the most helpful. I had read it a few days ago, but wasn't really comprehending it since I was not reading it thoroughly. I reread it this morning with a calmer mind, and I think EC may have been the cause. Looking back, I can...

    Sudden Paralysis

    I agree J. I have come to blame the vet. She did not offer to do any testing. This is where I feel I have failed Bob. Being so far away and distraught, I didn't think fast enough. I took her word that paralysis meant no quality of life. Although my job would make it very difficult to have given...

    Sudden Paralysis

    I would, but he is already to Honor Thy Pet. Again, it all happened so fast. This was my first experience with the death of a pet. I also immediately focused on the surviving companion, Zeus.

    Sudden Paralysis

    The only other thing I can think of as far a behavior prior to our trip was this- Bob had some heavy breathing the day before. We had taken him to get his nails trimmed. He has done this numerous times before. He wouldn't like it, but would 'recover' rather quickly when we got home. This time...

    Sudden Paralysis

    I haven't ruled it out, its just from what I've read, Bob didn't experience anything until the day he died. What my husband witnessed could've been a fluke. If he had been having seizures, I didn't know (which doesn't help my guilt!) All I know is that he was on his back, unable to get up. My...

    Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

    Sudden Paralysis

    Thanks for your input Jenny. I did read up on EC. I kinda ruled it out since he had no other symptoms like head tilt. I also looked at this article that came to the conclusion that with EC, rabbits for the most part, will not become disabled. I also have another bunny, who has not been...

    Sudden Paralysis

    Fast Facts First: 1. No trauma by caregivers 2. Healthy diet 3. Bob was almost 8 years old ok, trying to make a long story short... My family and I were out of town. A friend was caring for Bob and Zues. She arrived home at 7 pm. Both bunnies were fine and playing. By 10:30, Bob was on...

    Wat tings do yoo like to nom?

    Zues and I loove to chewy on phonebooks and wicker balls. I like the rag rugs bunnymama puts in our cage. They are cozy too! When bunnymama isn't thinking, she leaves a cord out...and those we like too. Since we moved into our new house, she is more careful. That Scotty guy watches out for us...

    Going away for the weekend

    We are new to the neighborhood so we don't know neighbors yet. The water tower is working out well so far.

    Which is the dominant one?

    Talkative? My boys definitely share the grooming ritual.

    Going away for the weekend

    So far we have a three quart water tower that they cannot tip over. Plus an additional hay bin. We have a few weeks to try things out.
