Blindness and Falling Over

[Bill Jesse]

I have a year old watered-down Himilayan who has started to tumble and fall. I have seriously considered it as EC and am on day 9 of Panacur but nothing has changed. I have seen 3 vets and only one suggested EC as a possibility. I have been around rabbits for years and have seen the signs so I am convinced. However I have been noticing that she seems to have lost sight in one eye (which may be from EC) and am wondering if this could cause her tottering. The reason I am considering this is because when she is outdoors in her pen she topples much less than she does when in her indoor hutch. The hutch is 2 feet by 4 feet and much darker than being in the outdoors. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Bill, raccoon roundworm will cause symptoms similar to EC, as well as blindness. I responded to you in another post, but I'll put this link from House Rabbit Society here as well:http://www.hrschicago.org/rabbitfr.html

I'm suspecting my Bun may have this since her EC titer was negative.
