Don't worry about a "bad response".... your advice was right on for a true commercial producer where time and money spent trying to save a wry neck rabbit can mean the difference between profit and loss! I strongly recommend putting down such rabbits since we really don't wish to promote any potential genetic susceptibilities to these problems. Only in the case of a valuable rabbit (usually a show rabbit) would I make an attempt to save it. I have, in the past, saved a couple of show rabbits, only to have them relapse a little over a year later. But, I wasn't using Barbi Brown's methods, either.
