Head tilt?

[Roo1234]

I was cleaning my indoor bunny’s house when I had to pull my bunny’s out to continue cleaning. I pulled my female out and she had a head tilt. I check on my bunny’s every day and I have found her snuggling with her housemate multiple times, I didn’t think anything of it but I think that is why I haven’t noticed it earlier. Neither of her ears are red or hot. When I pick her up and set her down her head goes like under her chin into and because of this she rolls over and then rights herself. She also is having balancing issues. And is very shaky. We are working on finding a vet to take her too but they are all booked out.

There is definitely something wrong with her I’m just trying to figure out what.
She is a dwarf breed and has bin spayed, she is 3 years old.

If you think you know what is going on or you have seen something like this please let me know

Head tilt is most often caused by an inner ear infection or the parasite e. cuniculi. Both can end up being fatal to the rabbit in some cases, though getting the rabbit started on the right meds can help reduce this risk. Rarely it can be caused by toxoplasmosis (when around cats), stroke, cancer/tumor, head trauma, or ear mites(only with mild head tilt).

Medirabbit: ear infection clinical signs and treatment

Usually experienced rabbit vets will start off treating for both an ear infection and e. cuniculi, with a rabbit safe antibiotic (eg. Baytil) to cover a possible ear infection, fenbendazole for e. cuniculi, and meloxicam to reduce inflammation and try and prevent cell damage. Sometimes meclizine or benedryl (diphenhydramine) is prescribed for the vertigo. And sometimes in very severe cases, corticosteroids are prescribed initially short term instead of the meloxicam, but only as a last resort due to it suppressing a rabbits immune system.

It's also important to change your rabbits set up if needed, to help support them because of the tilt and rolling. You may also need to offer supportive syringe feeds if your rabbit is struggling to consume enough food each day.

Head tilt would be considered an emergency situation because it can sometimes worsen very quickly. I would suggest trying to get your bun seen by a knowledgeable rabbit vet as soon as possible.
