Here's the scary story about last night. Kenzie was snoozing away in the bedroom as usual. She woke up and headed for our pen where I was eating dinner, when suddenly her legs seemed to give out on her. She writhed around for a few minutes trying to get her balance, to no avail. Finally she dragged herself by her front paws into the hidey box where she huddled miserablyl, chattering her teeth.
Mom was having fits, panicking, thinking her baby was having a seizure and dying before her eyes! She threw us both into the carrier and drove like a mad woman to the emergency vet, which is a place we've never had to visit before, so she had no idea if the vet was even competent to take care of rabbits.
By the time we got to the clinic, maybe a half hour after the "attack", Kenzie was hopping around like normal, none the worse for wear. She didn't even seem unduly stressed out. She gobbled down the treat Mom gave her. The vet basically said, she's fine now, might as well take her home. Didn't take any X-rays or run any tests.
Mom was of course relieved that Kenzie was back to normal, but terrified it will happen again. We have an appointment this afternoon with our regular, wonderful and competent vet, so maybe she'll be able to shed some light on what happened. Have any of you got any ideas what might have happened?
