My sweet little bunny had a seizure on Friday. He’s about 14 1/2 months old. He didn’t have a fever, and we don’t know what caused it. He’s fine now; he was exhausted immediately afterward as is typical, but other than that, he’s been more or less totally normal*. We took him to the ER when it happened, and we have an appointment with a neurologist on Wednesday. We were told that sometimes, this just happens once, or even a few times, and then never happens again, and they can’t really find a cause. And whether they can find a cause or not, they don’t generally do preventative meds until there’s another seizure, because there may not be one, and if there is, it makes a difference if it happens right away vs. a year from now. So we’re just waiting and watching.
In the meantime, I’ve been trying not to freak myself out, and so I have not Googled this at all. There will be time for that after we see the neurologist and have at least some idea of what’s going on (or at least know that we have no idea).
For now, though, it would be really awesome if folks could just reassure me that this happens all the time, and always turns out okay, and that my best little buddy will be totally fine. I was okay over the weekend, seeing him acting like his normal, happy little self. Then I had to drop him off at daycare this morning, and I had a really hard time leaving him. I know that they’re well-trained in dealing with this sort of thing; better than I am, for sure. I am very reassured that he’s in good hands. But I just wish I could be there, just in case.
So please, tell me: it’s going to be okay, right?
*I say “more or less” because he hasn’t been sleeping as well for the past few nights, and he had a huge, intense tantrum yesterday that we couldn’t distract him from for several minutes, and it started to get a little scary. I’m sure these things are just coincidental, but now I’m worried about everything.
