Question
hello, I found my rabbit this morning with a sort of tilt in her head. its not severe its just sort of on the side /.
im not sure whats going on. i havent seen her eat today but shes probably eating well. (but lets assume shes not so i can treat a worst case scenerio). she was fine last night. she also stumbles when she walks.
as if shes dizzy. (shes shaking and wobbly when he walks)
plz help me

Answer
Dear Jeremy,

Head tilt in rabbits can be caused by a number of different things, and for a very thorough rundown, please read:

www.rabbit.org/health/tilt.html

It's written by a vet, so you may be able to share this with a rabbit vet, whom you'll need to see with your bunny for proper care:

Please also read:

for additional information on treatment.

I hope your bunny will be fine once she's being treated for this by a good rabbit vet.
