Hello
I'm new to the forum and I'd like some advice please. I have a five year old lionhead rabbit who has suddenly developed one lop ear. Usually both his ears stand upright but all of a sudden his right one has dropped and sags down. I have had a look in his ear and nothing appears to be wrong at first sight.
He has also recently lost a bit of weight, he's usually a rather plump bunny - this may be because I bought a food brand he didn't like and refused to eat, which I replaced with his usual food and now he's eating normally again.
He is behaving like he normally does, except when you pick him up he feels kind of limp and doesn't struggle like he normally would to be put back down. Apart from that he seems to be himself.
I'd like some advice as to what may be the problem, especially concerning the lop ear! Obviously if he doesn't put on any weight in the next day or so I'm going to take him straight to the vet. I'd just like some advice as to what it may be before I take him.
Any advice would be great
Thanks
