minnie today

Eating is good, Nancy. Do you think she would like a crock for her water?
If she is feeling dizzy, the water bottle may be too much work for her.

I hope that the antibiotics start to work soon. Healing vibes being sent
full force for Minnie.

disoriented that she will end up spilling them and getting all wet

When my guys were ill, I fixed their crocks in their cages with a long piece
of wire that looped around the crock and secured it to the bars of the cage.
It worked really well. I put food and water crocks close to the litter box
and also kept hay in the box. That way they could eat, poop, and drink
without having to leave their boxes if they didn't feel up to it.

Experts advise us to let a rabbit move about when they have head tilt, but
sometimes they don't feel like moving. When mine were ill, they preferred
their litter boxes to any other place. I guess it gave them a safe boundary
and some stability.

My heart goes out to Minnie. I am so sorry that you and she are having to
go through this.

Well, it may take 7 to 10 days to
see improvement. Then, you may
see her *backslide* for another week,
after that! (then, improvement seen again)

(Don't know why the BackSlide but, this has
happened in all the ones that I have dealt with)

Make sure that she gets every bit of
*Meds!* that she is supposed to get.

(Every darn drop!)

And, lots of water even if you have to Sub-Q her!

(make sure the Vet checks her pulse, blood
pressure, and heart rhythms before the
Sub-Q's)

And, hopefully, she is getting the Interferon
along with the other Meds!
