Any rabbit owner who has gone through the torture of headtilt with a
beloved rabbit will know how distressing this dreadful condition is.

A new website and associated Yahoo group have been set up to give
information and support to people dealing with this, with the
intention of giving useful information to owners and helping them
understand how best to deal with the symptoms.

Many vets (those who aren't rabbit savvy, and sadly that is still most
of them!) don't realise that it is possible for rabbits to make a very
good recovery, or at least very great improvements, and to go on to
live a happy life. They will advise owners to have their pet pts as
soon as symptoms are seen. Sometimes they may be right - the bunny
may be beyond help, but very often they can be helped, a very great
deal.

The owner of the site, Katy, has a rabbit who had a very serious bout
of tilt 2 years ago. Lara has been left with a tilted head, but she
was able to get over the rolling, the spinning, the other distressing
symptoms, because of the support of people whose bunnies had already
gone through this and also the support of a very, very rabbit savvy
vet.

Katy has worked hard to gather together information to help out when
others are in the position she once was in, and has now set up the
site and the group to help others.

So, please visit http://www.OnTheWonk.com and if you feel you need
help with a rabbit who has the condition, or can offer advice/support
to others, the Yahoo group http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/OnTheWonk/
