Nothing short of miraculous - Peanut's tilt is gone

[m.e.]

I really wish I had a photo to share, but it will have to wait for tomorrow when the camera batteries are charged :?

On Wednesday morning I looked at Peanut and did a double take: instead of her usual one-ear-down/one-ear-up tilted look, both ears were flopped down. It took me almost a full minute to register the fact that her ears were down because her head was completely straight.

I asked the kids to come take a look. "Oh yeah," my sister says, "She was like that last night too." I could smack myself for not noticing, but after a year seeing her with a tilt, it's not really the kind of thing that I look for.

It's been two days now, and I still can't believe my eyes. She does seem to be struggling more than usual with balance as she REadjusts to life with her head on straight The right side (formerly the down side) of her face still looks a little different, and it's possible that the palsy she had never fully went away. Her eyelid on that side is still a bit droopy.

But...wow.

Peanut without a tilt. I'd almost forgotten what that looked like. I'm trying to think of the best way to tell her wonderful vet, Dr. G, about her recovery. Meanwhile I'm thrilled beyond belief.

WHAT?!?!?!?! :shock2:Oh my gosh, what amazing news! :woohoo

I just bumped your blog bc I wanted an update, but I never expected this. I am thrilled beyond belief for you, Emily. After everything you went through this must be such a relief.

We've had some really tough losses these last few weeks so we really needed some good news.

What a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day :sunshine:

WOW! Well that's a bright spot in my day!

It would have made my day too, had I not read Emily's PM first thing this morning before falling back asleep ... and then waking up thinking I dreamed it! :biggrin2:

It was such a pleasant dream... but it's way more awesome as reality!

:hugsquish:

(And oddly enough, my own case of headtilt -- well, positional vertigo due to an inner ear ailment-- is feeling much better too!) inkbouce:

Nose rubs and right-side-up head patsfor Peanut! et:

Wow, well it's good to have a bit of good news on the board, considering all the rabbits we've lost lately! (I'm depressed about Sprite...)

I'm so glad that the tilt is gone..and you're right. That IS nothing short of miraculous.

What a terrific ray of Hope amongst all the recent pain.

That's really great!

She first showed signs of a tilt (caused by an ear infection)last July, but it was several weeks before it became severe, and she didn't really walk again until September

I hadn't, but that's a good idea. They're due for their annual exam anyway
