My Hannah -Hotot

Question
I have a Hotot Bunny. She is about a yr at the most. Got her from a person who just found her outside. Lately within the last month she has been showing signs of equilibrium issues. I came home last yesterday from work and her one eye was sealed shut and she is not moving around much. I cleaned her eye with warm water, but she is still showing signs of lethargic behavior. Any help!!! Please!

Answer
Dear Dennise,

Please get her to an experienced rabbit vet:

The signs you describe are vague, and could be due to any number of things.  But I would certainly have the vet check her molars for spurs or other problems. These can manifest as sinus and/or eye problems.

Equilibrium problems can also be due to many things, from abscesses to tumors to parasites.  Please see:

I hope this helps get you started on the road to her full recovery.
