Thank you for your recommendation. It hurts to see him so down. He is willingly taking his medications and handfeeding without needing to be burrito’d and I have a Snugglesafe under his mat for more warmth. He was producing fecal pellets all day so we decided to hold off on his Lactulose, but he went to producing only a few tiny ones so I just gave him his dose now with a late handfeeding. He just looks so sad. Is that what I expect with stasis?
Regarding the Panacur, I think the concern is his history of anemia. We have an appointment scheduled for Monday to go in for bloodwork if he is not doing better, but she is not comfortable treating without definite diagnosis which I know can be challenging. I do feel that i would see more than this slight tilt if it was EC?

I forgot to answer about the plug. He was so reactive that she couldn’t safely get it. She told me to put 2 drops of Epiotic in the ear once a day and massage the base of the ear. She said he should be able to get it out himself but if the problem persists, we would sedate to remove it. I think her primary concern was the GI stasis – I was more concerned about the tilt because I go worst case quickly! I also think she did not prescribe antibiotics out of concern for them worsening his current issues. He is a sensitive guy.

So, we saw another vet today who cleaned his ear and said that the plug is gone, but the ear canal is very red and inflamed. He is now on ear drops. However, his eye on the same side is very weepy with clear fluid and a little bit of white eye goop at the tear duct. Both of the vets that I saw in the last 2 days said it is likely due to the inflammation in the ear canal. Likewise with his mild sniffling. Does that sound right? This vet also said that he does not present as an EC or pasturella bunny. When the ears got cleaned and he got home, the tilt pretty much completely resolved. He is now holding the eye shut when he can help it…he will open it, but prefers not to. He still seems a little off and is odd when grabbing food, but again, the doctors said the ear inflammation is just throwing his coordination off. He isn’t keen on his water bottle right now so I gave him a bowl and I guess he sniffed a little in because i caught him in a sneezing fit over the water bowl. He is super thirsty, but I think that is the lactulose making him feel like he needs to drink more.
Sigh.
