Buck,

I have also had some surprising success using justIvermectin. I do however recommend the use of steroids andantibiotics depending on the diagnosis.

I know someone who's been treating her bunny fortilt. I will check with her and see what has been working....he's doing much better I know!

In the case of Brice, he was not responsive tobaytril, so we used another antibiotic 3 times a day. He has been medfree for 8 months now. One of my friends sent me a web site that had 3personal stories of 3 different rabbits with wry neck, Let me see if Ican find the link. She sent it to me after Brice had finished hiscource of treatment, because she needed more understanding, and thenwas "explaining to me" about Brice'scondidtion.....

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your input and links! At this point, my vet wantsme to take Cadbury to a specialist who is board certified. Cadbury isdoing a little better, he now eats on his own, has gained some weightback, and is trying his best.I'll keepyou allposted as I find out more information.

Thanks a lot,

Bunnymama

Cadbury continues to improve, thankfully. He isstill on baytril, I give him about .5 cc every other day. He is still abit dizzy at times, but is going strong, trying very hard to recover!

I am no longer going to take him to the same vet, I honestly believeshe doesn't know anything about rabbits, and it is my belief that shehas been consulting over the phone w/ another vet... Then she tells meshe doesn't want to treat him anymore, and I should take him to the vetthat she has been consulting with.. who is in Tampa, which is 1 hr 3omins away.

I made an appointment for Cad to see this very nice vet. I spoke withhim on the phone & he explained everything, and is willing tolook at Cad, and help where he can. I will be taking Cad's entire fileand x-rays w/ me, he alos said it is not necessary to take Cad to Tampab/c that vet couldn't possible do anything different.

I will let you know how the appointment goes. It's scheduled for next week.

Thanks everyone for being so thoughtful, concerned, and helpful Cad & I really appreciate it!

At least your vet was consulting over the phonewhith another vet and just not wild guessing. A lot of vetswouldn't say you need to go to another vet for care.
