    weird rabbit.... possibly urgent

    well as you know my rabbit had baby rabbits about four months ago. we still have all of them... can't find homes. thats ok, we have the cages for them right now, and that's what goes with breeding.

    Well i posted a thread awhile ago about the runt with crusty discharge coming from it's eyes. well this rabbit is getting really weird. it holds it's head to the side. i mean, like one side of it's face is facing ALL the way up. you can't even see the other side of the face. if you understand what i mean, please help!

    It sounds like Wry Neck to me. It's a common disease, I've delt with two cases of it before. The symptoms are swaying/tilting head (most often to the right side), darting eyes, poor balance. I highly recommend you take a look at this link... http://www.barbibrownsbunnies.com/ecuniculi.htm

    I've had many fellow breeders/rabbit owners use this treatment with sucess. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Yup - though I've heard Wry Neck called "Head Tilt" - get that bunny to the vet!

    I'm sorry, it's too late. My dad found the bunny dead a few days ago. I feel so awful I didn't take it to the vet. It could've had a chance...
