Is it bad for a bun to have a deformed whisker? Evo has always had one - it grows thick and wiggly rather than long and thin like his other whiskers. You can't see it very well in the pic, but I think you get the idea.

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.

Kahlo's got one like that too. I noticed it last night for the first time..... I was starting to worry that she'd got it caught in something and that had made it a funny shape, but now I feel reassured 
My rats get this too, and so has my dog at the moment.
I assume it's just normal as it's not given them any problems.
I get the same - my hair's normally dead straight but I get the occasional REALLY wavy hair, which is usually thicker than the others too. So I hope it's normal :lol:

Lavender used to have one whisker like that, I've just been to look at them closely (whilst she was trying to wedge her head in the bunny/baby gate :shock: ) and she now has 2. I think its quite normal.
I can't comment other animals having them, my mums cat rubs all of hers off, she just has a couple of stalks and some stubble! :lol:
