When I showed my previous post to Susanne, she said that it didn’t clearly show the definite tilt to Roy’s head. Other people said that it just looked like he was a little groggy and was just turning his head to munch on some timothy hay. So, I thought I’d make another video to show you how Roy is doing (this was taken last night).
As you can see, my poor little bunny’s head is askew by about 20 degrees or so. I gave him his first dose of Baytril this morning by cutting up the pill into tiny pieces and mashing it together with a piece of banana. Roy very happily lapped that up and asked for more. I wonder if he’ll grow tired of banana over the next couple of weeks. (Maybe that’ll be my next vid, Roy eating Baytril-infused banana.)
Anyways, here’s the vid. Sorry about the dim lighting.

Poor Roy, Take care of him, ok? he looks nice!
Is wry neck something that can be cured with regular medicine?
It depends on the cause. Based on my vet visit with Dr. Anderson (and the x-rays and such that they took), he said that the most likely cause for Roy is an inner ear infection from resident bacteria. Generally speaking, the rabbit can never be “cured” because you can’t get rid of ALL the bacteria. With antibiotics, you can try to control it and reduce the inflammation. By doing this, the wry neck / head tilt symptoms SHOULD be reduced.
Thanks for returning. Ill be posting every day. Again I am sorry for my language, I think that is mainly coz of the fact that I am not from a country which has its primary language English. It will be really nice of you if you can show me some places where my language is bad
