You would first need to go about finding out what the sole cause is because many things can cause "Opisthotonos " genetic abnormalities, metabolic disease, neoplasms, malnutrition, viral, fungal, parasitics infections, bacterial, or exposure to toxins. The most common cause seems to be malnutrition or toxin exposure, so if unable to see a vet, treating with vitamin E and B complex to eliminate malnutrition as a possible cause would be the first line of action, and of course offering supportive care along the way of treatment.
