Dodger had another seizure last night, this one lasted longer This morning he seems to be his normal self and couldn't wait for breakfast, he's now under the dining room table which is his favourite place
He's adapted well to not having the full use of his back paws and can get around very quickly (especially when he knows there's a treat or food available
He probably doesn't know anything about it at the time ( most people don't) so he's not suffering during a seizure but of course it looks scary for you. He won't be in pain as he's on the metacam and they cope well with leg problems.
.. you just have to make sure his surroundings are soft so he can't injure himself, which I'm sure you do..
I remember once when bunlover was on holiday and I was minding Dora ,bunlover said.. if she has a seizure don't touch her or you'll make it worse...she'll come out of it and wonder where she is for a few minutes then will go on as normal. Dora was having 1 seizure every 4-6 weeks at that time and as she had just had one we didn't expect her to have another in the next fortnight so I had made no special provision.
....but Dora had a seizure in my rockery and I was initially frantically trying to put my hands under her fast moving head so she wouldn't crack her head, so I had to pick her up, her limbs flailing and put her on the lawn where she could roll and thrash about safely.
Dora used to lose control of her bladder during a seizure so you would have to gently wash her later but you had to be really careful washing her or she would fit again.
Is it the 28day course of panacur that Dodger has?
I do hope the extra meds will help.

I tend to stroke him (if possible) and talk to him gently, when he comes out of it he licks the carpet or me if my hand is still near him Dolly leaves him to get on with it and sits close by watching him, it is more frightening for me than him, as within a few minutes he's back to himself.
He's still on Metacam but the other meds finished last week, I'm at the vets tomorrow with one of the other bunnies, so I'm going to ask if we can try something else, I don't really want to take him, because it can stress him out
He's been under the table most of the morning, I worry that he's still been having them, but because no one is here during the day we won't have known about them
SDF, did Dora make noises, he tends to whimper/cry (not scream thank goodness) which really upsets me It's usually this noise that alerts us to the fact he's having one
