Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Would it be advisable?
I wouldn't personally take the risk, but I've never had a headtilt bunny myself so I don't know what the advice would be.
This is for a bunny I want to highlight in RIN soon, so just want to get my facts straight.
What is RIN please?
She has been left with a considerable headtilt, but she runs around, eats well and is a contented girl.
I am going to get some pics when I am at the rescue on Friday. I see her every week and I find it upsetting as I just feel like she will be there forever. She is a sweet girl, but she will always be overlooked as there are so many perfect bunnies to choose from. It takes a special person to choose a wonky bunny.
She is one half of a bonded pair. Her friend is a castrated male.

If she is already bonded I would personally leave it but make sure they are rehomed as a pair

Yes, they won't be split.
