Gabriel's Head-tilt Story

[JadeIcing]

Alicia, we are getting in a significant headtilt bun. He previously had
surgery to remove a severe case of bot fly larve and has been treated once for
headtilt. He is only a year old. We will see what dr. Anita says, but I have a
feeling it will not be good

This is the part of an email from the rescue. Keep this guy in your thoughts. I am hoping he makes it here.

Ok so the rescue is getting him Saturday. He should taken to the vet ASAP and than go from there.

I know the pasteurella treatment. I don't know the treatment for EC.

He is has been treated but now the people can't afford more. So cross your fingers that he is able to come here and be treated.

EC does not cause head tilt. It may be a contributing factor mostly by compromising the immune system...but in every case of tilt I have seen.....and that has been many including EC rabbits.....in the abscense of trauma the tilt has always been a direct result of a bacterial infection in the ear or brain stem. The stress on the immune systemfrom the EC allows opportunistic bacteria the opening it needs. The immune system sees the EC as the primary threat and makes that it's frontal attack. EC rabbits usually have "roving" bacterial infections due to the immune system stress.

I know that. We don't know the whole story yet. So we are preparing for anything. He will be tested for everything.

Ok so he is a rex. Eatting and pooping but non stop rolling. As long as that is all he has a chance. I will get him and treat him. Also to see if he improves.

Eek! Poor little guy. I hope he will be ok and make it to you. We all know he'll get the best care possible with you!
