I don't really have any advice to give, except to say that I'm thinking of you, and sending love to you and poor Kia. Maybe once this ear problem has settled down she will perk up again.

Maybe the only thing I'd say would be to try and keep routine for her, because I know a sudden change in routine will really upset her if she's already unsteady. Also, maybe as stacwase said, perhaps she is more ill than depressed. I read a book once that said sick dogs will hide, and either emerge a week later healthy, or die. Maybe Kia is just 'hiding' in her crate until she heals?

This is strange actually, because I nearly posted a thread about depression in rabbbits in the "Pet Health" section, because I am worried about Zander. Maybe he's just lonely but I am worried for him, and I don't know how to help him.

All my love and best wishes to you and Kia. I hope she feels better soon, and let you feel some peace. Please don't think that you are a bad mommy! Think how much worse Kia would feel if she didn't have her mommy there to comfort her and protect her. She needs you and I just know you're doing a wonderful job.
