Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in with a photo update!
when she would try to drink out of that bowl before she would fall over (often INTO it). Her tilt is way less pronounced than it was a few days ago.
thanks for all the information and support that I have gotten.

Wonderful! She is looking so much better! I'm sure you are much relieved that there's finally progress. *hugs and nosebonks*

ugh. Now she has an eye irritation. It's red and a bit puffy. The vet can't see her today. Is there something else I can do for her or am I stuck waiting? Polysporin eyedrops? Anything??

I just read this:
"Then we moved to Texas. The ointment seemed to hurt her eyes, so we consulted Dr. M.J. Shifrin, of the Austin Animal Eye Clinic. He advised switching to an over-the-counter eye lubricant, such as Celluvisc or Lacrilube. Regular use of this people product seems effective as Holly has gone nine months without a scratch. He also said to try to keep this fastidious animal from washing her face. She didn't understand that order at all."
does anyone have any experience?

Becky also tends towards eye irritation. This is what I use for her:

It helps keep things soothed. It can be challenging to get the drops into the "down" eye, but it really helps. They also have a soothing version, but because she tends to react to dust I wanted to go with the allergy version to cover bases.

I got her some Cirpofloxacin from the vet 1.5 hours away. It's really red and puffy but today when I gave her the drops I offered her the water bottle and she drank a lot. I think that she might have been dehydrated and that made it worse. I'll give her the drops though until she's back to being able to stand properly. I think that the water was a big help too. She had been refusing the water bottle and like, pushing it away with her chin all aggressively. It's pretty warm today tho.

So today's update: with the drops her eye is less red. I'm also seeing more of an improvement in her balance. No rolling, no stumbling or tipping or anything! She does still go in circles from time to time but that's it.
Her tilt is still there but it's getting less and less. Her "down" eye is even open more today than it has been since this all began. All in all, she's doing much better!

Glad to hear she's starting to show improvement. Neville took a bit, but he's right as rain now. That's why we call him Level Neville.
When it happens, it just breaks your heart. But quick response, medical attention and comfort will get them through this.

the bloodtest came back "Highly Positive". Thanks vet! The Panacur treatment is going so well that her tilt is minimal now. Every day she's getting better. So glad to have this community around

My rabbit Pugsley had the same thing twice! His was called Ryeneck and the doctor gave us antibiotics... We crushed them up and fed them to him with pumpkin... I lasted for about two weeks and he is completly back to normal.. Some rabbits necks are stuck like that if it is a really severe case.. My vet said that my rabbit could die, his case was that serious! I recommend pumpkin in a can!
