I'm not sure if this is the appropriate part of our forum to post this, but wanted to inform as many people as possible
Any rabbit owner who has gone through the torture of headtilt with a beloved rabbit will know how distressing this dreadful condition is.
A new website and associated Yahoo group have been set up to give information and support to people dealing with this, with the intention of giving useful information to owners and helping them understand how best to deal with the symptoms.
Many vets (those who aren't rabbit savvy, and sadly that is still most of them!) don't realise that it is possible for rabbits to make a very good recovery, or at least very great improvements, and to go on to live a happy life. They will advise owners to have their pet pts as soon as symptoms are seen. Sometimes they may be right - the bunny may be beyond help, but very often they can be helped, a very great deal.
The owner of the site, Katy, has a rabbit who had a very serious bout of tilt 2 years ago. Lara has been left with a tilted head, but she was able to get over the rolling, the spinning, the other distressing symptoms, because of the support of people whose bunnies had already gone through this and also the support of a very, very rabbit savvy vet.
Katy has worked hard to gather together information to help out when others are in the position she once was in, and has now set up the site and the group to help others.
So, please visit http://www.OnTheWonk.com and if you feel you need help with a rabbit who has the condition, or can offer advice/support to others, the Yahoo group http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/OnTheWonk/
That's as well as all the help, support and advice available on our Rabbits Online forum, of course.
