Gabriel's Head-tilt Story

[JadeIcing]

This is from another group. I asked the lady if I could qoute it.The last part says so much.

I think Gabriel is a wonderful name! He looks so precious. No matter how
many times I see a bunny with head tilt, I just never get used to it - it makes
me so sad. Especially seeing them roll - breaks my heart! I guess it just
reminds me of when my little guy had head tilt.

> But I am so glad that we have vets who are more educated and willing to help
our head tilt friends, and especially the knowledge and support of groups like
this one. Head tilters need our help and understanding and they are living
proof and inspiration of how strong and wonderful the animal soul can be.

I forgot how tiring it can be caring for them at this stage. :caffeine

Ditto. ^ Please stroke Gabriel for us, Ali. Yes, You are an angel. He's lucky to know your loving heart & special needs' care.

 

[JadeIcing]

He is getting lots of strokes.

 

[luvthempigs]

Aww, He is beautiful and so very lucky to have you! You are an angel :angel:

Such a handsome rexie boy! You are truly an angel for giving Gabriel a loving home. He certainly loves his carrots! There is plenty of happiness in store for this bunny.

 

[JadeIcing]

Yup! I got to get pictures to the rescue so he can be put up for sponsorship!

 

[luvthempigs]

So do you have any idea how he got in this condition? How did you find him? Or should I say how did he find you?

 

[JadeIcing]

His previous owners couldn't afford treatment so they called the rescue.

He reminds me of a beauty at the shelter that I want to take home with me. She's a rex (can't tell if she's standard or mini) with the same color of spots. She's a total sweetheart and is very interested in people. No tilt, but a very similar look and personality. Huge kudos~~

 

[JadeIcing]

I tired...

 

[mouse_chalk]

He is just sooooo cute! I'm so glad he's with you now.

I just love the carrot-eating vid as well. It's adorable!

 

[JadeIcing]

So they didn't send dremamine/bonine. I asked....reply....She thinks they didn't because it isn't pasteurella or ec. HUH!? That is for the rolling...which is caused by infection(whatever kind)in the middle ear.... It doesn't cure it...It just helps with a syptom... I started him on it.... He is rolling a LOT less. Mainly after we HAVE to handle him. He is moving on his own more....

 

[JadeIcing]

Gabriel is doing a LOT better. His ear looks clear, he is rolling less. Mostly when he has to get handled. :biggrin2:

 

[JadeIcing]

Gabriel's set-up...

 

[tonyshuman]

Now THAT looks comfy!

 

[JadeIcing]

The front right corner is his fave spot to relax. He fixed it just right and plops himself.

 

[mouse_chalk]

Can you come and make my bed like that for me please? It looks sooo comfy!

I'm really glad he's doing better and responding to the treatment!

 

[JadeIcing]

Lol not sure I like the idea of a long flight.

He goes back Thursday for a recheck.

 

[slavetoabunny]

I could take a nice nap in that set-up! Love the way you've used the body pillows. I would have never thought of that.
