Question
i have no vets close for me to drive to without getting caught my lisence is suspended. he jusy jerked again and became twisted and limp. how long will this continue what can i do for him at home

Answer
Dear Markita,

I cannot diagnose something like this without seeing the bunny.  Your vague description could be anything from torticollis to the agonal phase before death.  Please see:

Unfortunately, in a case like this, there is no substitute for getting your bunny to a rabbit-savvy veterinarian.  If you have a friend who can drive you, please do that as soon as possible.

I hope the bunny will be okay.
