3 month old rabbit had a seizure

[cooldiva1991]

Hi everyone,

I have had my rabbit for about a month ad this morning, after letting her out for a bit, I put her back in her cage and a few minutes later she had, what I suppose is, a seizure. She now refuses to get back in her cage and panicks when she is in it.

Can anyone help me out with what to do? How to avoid any further seizures or what the cause could be?

I am very worried =(

Thank you =)

Can you describe what exactly happened, and what it looked like, when she had this seizure? Is it possible she could have eaten something toxic, like a plant?

If it is a seizure, it would be best to take your rabbit into the vet as soon as you can. Sometimes seizures can be caused by an infection, or also parasites. Both things would need to be treated by a vet. In the mean time, just comfort her until she calms down and feels better. If it happens again, make sure that she stays safe while it is happening.

Here is a list of potential causes of seizure:

I would want to have a vet see the bunny very soon as seizures are always serious.

check for e-c and treat with panazuril, it is the latest and by far treatment for e-c!!!!
