Sick bun :(

We think that Benji has E cuniculi, which is a parasite that affects the neurological system. His hind legs seem to just stop working periodically, and then a few minutes later, he hops around like his normal self. That started Saturday, and he spent the day at the vet Monday for observation. Now he keeps holding his head turned to the left - not tilted, just turned - and his eyes move back and forth as though he's reading a teleprompter. Again, it happens for a minute or two, and then he acts normally again. It's hard to diagnose and hard to treat, but we've left a message for the vet asking for some medication to try, even if she' s not sure it will work.

I'm worried about our little guy, and we would appreciate prayers.
