Droopy ear tips

[nap91]

We’ve noticed over the last few days that the tops of Whitney’s ears have started to curl over. Not all the time, and not the whole ear, just the very tips.

Is this something to be concerned about? I’ve checked her and can’t see anything visibly wrong although obviously I know some things would require a vet to diagnose. She had her triple vac a week ago although I wouldn’t have thought that’s of significance. An internet search didn’t really turn up many results.

Ooh, cheriseru's Athie had/has the same thing, I remember: http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?481798-Growing-changes-or-my-imagination Apparently the vet said not to worry unless there are troubling symptoms? It does seem odd, doesn't it, just the tops of the ears curling like that? I'd never seen that before... I hope Whitney's okay, but it does sound like she probably is since you can't see anything visibly wrong with her.

Yes!!! Athie gets that now and then!
So far not been able to find a trend but glad there's another bunny out there that gets it [emoji1787]
Yea my vet said she's never seen that before but not to worry if they seem fine otherwise. Little wilting bunny [emoji39] usually does it a day or so, or just a few hours but then tend to goes all uppity again.
I've not yet found an answer either so if you find out would be interesting to hear

Hmmm just had a think and Athie's ear droop started after the triple vac as well [emoji848] his was the same and next day and since then every now and then he gets it. Wonder if that's a coincidence [emoji848]

Whitney looks like she might have a bit of Angora in her at first glance and they have tipped ears I think! I did have a bun with an ear that drooped in the middle suddenly. It turned out to be a serious ear infection and her ear returned to normal once the infection was under control. It was more half of one ear though rather than just the tips.

I know it doesn't help but they do look adorable bunnies [emoji7]

Yes Rups does this when he is too hot or not feeling very well. I did take him to the vets last time but she couldnt find anything and he seemed to perk up soon after.

Wonder if it's some rabbits way of sulking [emoji848] as there's no other symptoms, I still call Athie wilting bunny when he gets it [emoji16]

Thanks for the comments everyone, really interesting to read! Whitney's still doing it on and off, she seems otherwise fine, so I'm reluctant to stress her out with a vet visit just for that if it's not needed.
