My baby is horribly sick. We don't know what's wrong. I woke up sat morning to the sound of him struggling to get up. His right side was weak and he couldn't stand. So i rushed him to the ER vet. They're not sure what the issue was because he got up on his feet within an hour. He has noticable head tilt, loss of appetite, obviously exhausted. they're thinking it's either an inner ear infection or e. cuniculi. I took him back home and he does nothing but sleep. He doesn't act the same. The head tilt is better, but he veers to the left when he is hopping and sleeps with his back towards me and his head tucked at the back of the cage or his box. He's on anitbiotics and an antiparasitic, but I have this gut feeling he's gonna die. I've cried so much the last few days that I wake up with my eyes swollen. I don't know what to do. I've had him since I was 17 and he was 3 months old. He's 10 now. Long, happy, healthy life, but doesn't make this any easier. And none of my friends seem to understand how painful it is for me. He's my child and dealing with this alone is horrible. I have no family here and no friends who seem to care enough to come over to be by my side. I really need all the support I can get at this time. Please, someone who's dealt with this before-who's lost their bun that's been with them for so many years. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Ollie is the white and brown lop in my profile picture. That's my baby
