Question
I have a 4 year old netherland dwarf rabbit that has a head tilt.  He is not eating and is neurologically having trouble.  I have called every ER clinic in the placer county and sacramento area and noone sees rabbits.  I sure hope you can give me some insight on what to do.  I do not want him to suffer.

thank you

Hi Jodi

Poor bunbun! There are two main causes of head tilt, one is an ear infection and the other the EC parasite. Proper diagnosis needs a vet though, did you call these ones?

Have a look on here for other causes and their recommended treatments (love this website!)

Hope you can get your bun seen by a vet!
