Hey guys! I've had rabbits for a while, but I've never seen this:
I have a female dwarf mix who is about 3 years old. About a year ago, one of her ears began to VERY slowly droop. Not she can no longer lift it up (she's basically a windmill now- except the ear stands straight out, not like a full lop). She was erect before and was fully grown when we got her. I've checked many times for ear infections. The other ear is still erect and completely normal.
She doesn't scratch it, she runs, eats, binkies, gets angry, cuddles, etc. all normally. In fact, she's a very active and happy little bunny, and doesn't even seem to notice that her ear doesn't go up. She CAN move it side to side, but not up. There is no cranial nerve damage either.
Has anyone seen this develop so late in a rabbit?
