I suppose this is just me being impatient (Considering that we're heading to a vet as soon as my Mom gets home, so only another half hour or so) but I wanted the opinion of some people on here.
So Ty had been totally fine last night, I came down two hours later for a final check and suddenly he wasn't coming to the front of his cage, which isn't normal for him. So to see if maybe he was just being moody, I took him out of his cage and put him out on the floor to run around. He took about two hops before he fell over and acted like he couldn't get back up, he just sorta flailed around trying to get his feet under him. I helped him back up and let him go again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Nope, he fell right back over after a few hops. Since this occured at midnight, I couldn't get him to a vet last night so I brought him into my room to watch him (I put him in his carrier so that way he wouldn't be constantly falling over) and hoped that perhaps when I woke up in the morning.
Nope, no such luck.
So I called in to work and told them I wouldn't be there and we plan to go to the vet. He looks and acts completely normal except for falling and I've been trying to remember anything different that would have happened. The only thing different was that I introduced all the buns to carrot tops yesterday. I washed them thoroughly, but could he be having some sort of reaction to them?
I just really hope it's something simple to fix...
I have a video of him from this morning but it's posted on Facebook... Is there a way I can post it here?
