floppy ear

Hi all, my bunny has a floppy ear. ;-( I'm hoping some of you may have had experience of something similar with your bunnies? On Monday I noticed my bunnies right ear was floppy, he almost looked like a lop...which he isn't, he is a harlequin rabbit. I took him to the vet, and he was flumoxed. He couldn't find any sign of an injury, and Fudge (the bunny) will let you touch the ear, so he doesn't seem to be in any pain. The vet gave him an injection for mites.

Any help greatly appreciated, I just feel sorry for Fudge, and I'm really worried that it is eventually going to get him down.

Dunno if it's any help but my buns ears are sometimes floppy, sometimes straight, sometimes one up one down :lol:

Maybe it's just one of those things??
 
yeah, maybe, but you know when you just know it's not normal because you know your bunny so well? If rabbits had bones in their ears, you would almost say it was broken.

I hope he gets better soon. :cry:
 
Hmm, maybe, but I think it's something different. I am going to take him to the vet again tomorrow, it's really concerning me now.

Thanks everybody.
