Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / January 2008plopp's wry neck update
After 14 days of panacur and baytril plopp wasn't getting better. He had a tracheal wash (surgery) after xrays so that whatever was causing fluid build up in his lungs could be cultured. At that point he went off of both the panacur and baytril. He was put on itraconazole (1ml a day) and one baby asprin. Within a week, he had a noticable improvement and since christmas he has been getting better and better. He is still on the itraconazole, but the asprin has been cut. (The asprin was prescribed to help with inflamation). He now also seems to have recovered his balance completely. He can once again jump up on the couch and the bed without any miss jumps. He can also sit on his hind legs and peer around without falling over. His wry neck is practically gone. It is still not known what he caught (its not a bacterial infection), but its assume that since itraconazole made a dramatic difference that it must be a fungal infection. Here he is after his surgery a week before christmas: http://flickr.com/photos/migi328/2167211294/ http://flickr.com/photos/migi328/2167211184/ You can see his slight head tilt, it was never as bad as some of the pictures I've seen, but you can definitely see it in that photo. He is doing well now and its a huge relief. I'm So pleased he is getting well. We all love Plopp. God bless.

That >picture is priceless! What sort of bothers me is the $$$, time and of course stress on him from the surgery and we still don't have an answer what it was. Fungal is most likely, but from where? He has one more blood test and if his white cell count is normal, we should be done. I've not totalled the bills but its about $1000 in less than 2 months. :( Is that site the same people who put together the book? I think this one is really the most fitting: http://flickr.com/photos/migi328/2141841556/in/set-1325728/ His first or second oral shot of baytril and it missed. Here is his tilt at the worst: http://flickr.com/photos/migi328/2141050651/in/set-1325728/ Fortunately he looks nothing like this anymore.. he is much better and actually has been doing his morning binkies and midnight indy 500 runs for about the past 2 weeks. yes, they are the same people. That Baytril shot is so funny! I hope Plopp got a well deserved treat after that!;) And I hope you will have no more vet bills the next 10 years!

I had wry neck once and I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy :( Lots of bunny fusses for Plopp :) Regards Kate That sweet boy. I am so glad he is doing and feeling better. Keep up the good work.
