Answer
Hi Nick,

I have no idea what it might be.  Not a vet, and haven't ever seen your rabbit.

If you are not getting the improvement you hoped for, I would look around your area for a good rabbit vet.  To find one, go here:

www.rabbit.org/vets/vets.html

and find a House Rabbit Society recommended vet near you.  Not all vets do exotics like rabbits well.  Getting a second opinion from a good rabbit vet may make a huge difference in curing a problem.
