| - Dr. Driggers saved my bunny girl's life. We woke up on a Sunday morning to find her huddled in a corner, looking sick with a slight head tilt and refusing to eat or drink. I called the emergency number, and despite it being an off-hours day, without hesitation he agreed to see her for an exam. It turns out she had the early signs of a very serious infection, one that we eventually battled with for more than a month, but she is now on the road to recovery. Luckily we caught the infection early enough that there wasn't any serious damage.
I shudder to think what would have happened if we had waited any longer, because during the infected period her head tilt got so bad that it was rotated 90 degrees, with darting eye movement (nystagmus). She would often fall down due to lack of balance and struggle to upright herself, thrashing and flailing around. She developed an ulcerated abscessed eye which additionally needed treatment, and there were days she refused all food, and we needed to force feed her. It was a very rough and emotionally draining treatment period, but thanks to the early intervention she is eating again and the head tilt is nearly gone. During the treatment period Dr. Driggers would often follow up on her progress to make sure she was doing OK, and was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Thanks to Dr. Driggers and his excellent staff, my little bunny girl is back to her old mischievous self.
