New Website for Rabbits w/Headtilt

[Bunnies4ever]

Any rabbit owner who has gone through the torture of headtilt with a beloved
rabbit will know how distressing this dreadful condition is.

A new website and associated Yahoo group have been set up to give
information and support to people dealing with this, with the intention of
giving useful information to owners and helping them understand how best to deal
with the symptoms.

Many vets (those who aren’t rabbit savvy, and sadly that is still most of
them!) don’t realize that it is possible for rabbits to make a very good
recovery, or at least very great improvements, and to go on to live a
happy life. They will advise owners to have their pet pts as soon as symptoms are seen.
Sometimes they may be right – the bunny may be beyond help, but very often
they can be helped, a very great deal.

The owner of the site, Katy, has a rabbit who had a very serious bout of
tilt 2 years ago. Lara has been left with a tilted head, but she was
able to get over the rolling, the spinning, the other distressing symptoms,
because of the support of people whose bunnies had already gone through this and also
the support of a very, very rabbit savvy vet.

Katy has worked hard to gather together information to help out when others
are in the position she once was in, and has now set up the site and the
group to help others.

So, please visit (http://www.onthewonk.com/ if you feel you need help with a rabbit who has the condition, or can offer advice/support to others.

I just checked this site. It’s great resource so far, and it looks like she just started so I am sure it will continue to have more and more info in time. I enjoy the easy casual style – owner to owner that makes it easy and comfortable to digest.  Thanks for sharing this site. I have now bookmarked it as a great referral resource. I am also going to put this in the links section under Health.

Head Tilt can be a horrible disease. I’m glad to be of help. I’ve been busy lately and now trying to play catch-up.

Thats great to have a site like that and a group for dissabled bunnies too…   Hopefully by Allah my buns and yours will never experience this frightening illness.   But we do have a site to go to for help.  Looks like it will be doing a lot of growing as more people will be visiting her site.
