Iv had my rabbit Dizze now for about 3 years.
I rescued him from a farm where the dogs had attacked him and he had just been left in his cage, so i kinda robbed him (they never noticed he was gone tho!)
I took him to the vet and he had puncture wonds on his shoulders and on his back where the dog obvioulsy had had him in his mouth.
He was on antibiotics for months, and had to be injected twice a day with some different antibiotics too.
But through all his treatment he was SO lovley and has never ever bit me or kicked out (which you thought he'd do) all he dose is lick you and snuggle up to you, it's like he's greatful for everything.
Over the year he developed a tilted head, where he always had his head on one side, it didn't seem to bother him, he just fell over every now and then, we took him to the vets incase it was something serious and she just gave us more antibiotics for an ear infection that he obvioulsy didn't have, so clearly that didn;t help the problem.
Recently though in the past few month he can no longer hold his head up =[ he's just constantly falling over and will spend ages just lying on his back.
He can still eat and drink and everything fine, so its not like he can't eat etc, it's almost like he's lost all his neck muscles.
I put a padded guinea pig tunnel in his cage for him to prop his head up onto, and he smeemed to really like having something to put his head on
He must get such neck ache =[
I don't want to take him to the vets cus i no they'll just put him down, and i think that'll be unfair after everything he's gone through, he's survived pretty much everything.
He's just like a new born baby and cant support his own head...
Is there anything i can do for him, or make that i could put around hiis neck to support his head, would putting a cone around help, cutting it down so it dosnt cover his whole head
He's such a happy little bunny, he's just a bit disabled
