Bunny with loppy ear following dental

Hi :wave:
My bunny had a dental yesterday, they put a cannula in the vein in his ear but now his ear has gone all loppy. He's usually an uppy eared bunny, just wondered if anybun else has had this happen to them and how long it lasted.
 
I think it's quite common from what i've seen in the past. It shuold return to normal over the course of the next few days if i remember reading rightly :)
 
If it's been loppy since he got home there's nothing to worry about & it will get better soon.

If it didn't start to lop until today, we need to check there's no infection causing throbophlebitis - a spreading blood clot in the vein which would need ABx today.
 
Ok thanks. I def brought him home with a loppy ear so hopefully it's not an infection/clot. I'll keep an eye on it and hope it goes back to normal soon, thanks for quick replies :D
 
Well, it's been over a week since his dental op and his ear is STILL lopped!! I'm starting to worry about it...has anyone else had this problem last so long? Will he ever be a bilateral uppy eared bun again??? :shock: :? :(
 
My foster bun Josie had an ear lop after she stayed at the vets for a few days. I think it took a few weeks before it 'upped' again! As long as the ear still looks and feels healthy I don't think it's anything to worry about :) xx
