What It Is:
True seizures are rare in rabbits. When observed, they show a swift onset and last a few minutes. Recovery is generally complete. In rare cases, seizures leave the rabbit in a comatose state or can be accompanied by blindness. Seizure-like behavior is often related to intense pain, with the rabbit throwing itself on its side; eyes rolling in their pocket.
The cause of the seizure must be determined, before starting medication. The treatment of seizures in rabbits is commonly attempted with diazepam or midazolam, and short-tern administration of glucocorticoids, in order to reduce the inflammation. In some cases, anti-epileptic drugs are administrated to rabbits; unfortunately, their efficiency decreases with time.
