One ear suddenly hanging loosely!

[the fluffies]

Hi.
Last midnight i noticed one of Lara's ears was hanging loosely. Feels like it is detached/broken from its original joint. But no bruises/redness on the root of the ear. She was in her cage the whole day before i noticed about the ear. But the is one bunny roaming outside her cage. I didnt see any bite mark on the ear just incase it happened because the other bunny pulled her ear from outside.

Didn't see her shaking or scratching her head. Can it be ear infection. I emailed our vet to make an appointment and she only will be available on Saturday. She asked me to shine the torch light behind/inside the ear (so it looked transparent) to scan if i can detect any abnormality/lump but i cant find any.

Other than that, she looks fine and active.

I read somewhere that hot weather can cause the situation. Here is 33°C at daytime and 28°C at night.

Anyone have the same experience? What is the treatment given to your bunny?

Is she a young rabbit, and is it possible she could be part lop eared breed?

If not, it could be due to an ear infection or also heat stress can cause a rabbits ears to droop. Try cooling her off and see if that works. If not it would be good to have your vet check for an ear infection.

Here are some other signs of heat stress in rabbits and different methods of helping them keep cool.
