my bunny is poorly...

[fluffsta]

my partner has just taken our rabbit Carrot to the vets. we noticed last night that she is tipping her head to one side and doesnt seem to be able to straighten it. am so worried about her, she has the sweetest nature and would hate for anything to happen to her. i just have to wait and see if everything is ok. has anyone had anything like this happen?

Head Tilt can be caused by a middle ear infection or by neurological damage caused by a protozoal parasite called Encephalitizoon Cuniculi
Hopefully your Vet will treat Carrot for both conditions. This will include antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and a 6 week course of Panacur.

Here is some info' on Head Tit
