Hello,
My rabbit has spondylosis and has been relatively symptom free for his entire life. He's 8 now. I think we had one incident 3 years ago and that was it.
He can walk normally, even at a fast pace. We've had an incident where he cannot get himself upright, occasionally, only if he's fully laying down on his side. The biggest problem is he freaks out and starts thrashing around. He hasn't rolled over 360 degrees but it's similar to a gator when its attacking something.
I have been able to get to him within a few seconds to help him get upright and then he's fine.
Has anyone experienced this? I am worried about him injuring himself while frantically doing this alone or having a heart attack. We're going to make sure his cage has nothing that will hurt him inside of it.
We're going to get x-rays tomorrow hopefully.
Thanks
