Why is my bunny tilting its head and running in circles post-vaccine?

This head tilt may be due to trauma or an ear infection. Have Waffle physically examined by your veterinarian. A swab of the ear(s) can be examined under a microscope in the clinic to diagnose or rule out infection (bacterial, fungal, parasites). Afterwards, the appropriate medication can be dispensed.

Head tilt in rabbits is either a sign of a brain parasite (most common) or a middle ear infection. it is not possible to know which of the two it is so it is usually recommended to treat both conditions simultaneously. you will need to take Tromso to the vet ASAP in order to get it treated, the sooner you do that the bigger his chances of recovery will be.

Poor Thumper! Head tilts in rabbits are generally medical problems that need to be assessed and treated by a veterinarian. Often they are caused by an infection in the middle or inner ear that almost always require systemic antibiotics. Though here are occasionally other things that can cause these (tumors, abscesses, trauma, etc.) with Thumper being so young and you reporting no history of trauma they are lower on my list of differentials. I would get Thumper to his vet soon because the last thing you want is for him to start feeling badly, stop eating, and go into GI Stasis which can be life threatening. I hope this helps, good luck with your little guy!

I’m sorry to hear Morgan isn’t doing well. Head tilts in rabbits can of course be caused by trauma, but more commonly I see them associated with either an inner ear infection or a parasite called E. cunniculi. I would recommend an examination with your veterinarian. Many of these head tilts can be cured or at least dramatically improved with the proper treatment. Poor thing, and reassure your daughter that it is unlikely from when she dropped her. I hope she improves soon and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Head tilt in rabbits is either because of a brain parasite or an ear infection. the brain parasite is more common and it is more fatal as well, if caught early Twix can be saved, you must take him to the vet urgently in order to get him treated.

Poor Coco! Head tilt in rabbits is usually a bacterial infection that started out in the upper respiratory tract and now has traveled to the brain and possibly other organs. Sometimes this can be a parasitic brain infection, but this is less common in my experience. Coco needs to see a rabbit veterinarian right away for proper treatment. I usually start an oral deworming treatment and oral Baytril antibiotic for several weeks to see if this helps. Good luck— Coco looks like a sweet little bun and I wish you the best!

Head tilts in rabbits are usually due to one of two things, an ear infection or a neurologic condition caused by a parasite. Both of these conditions will require treatment by a veterinarian in order to get better. The head tilt will likely get worse and worse if the underlying cause goes untreated. If the cause is the parasite (E. Cuniculi), it will eventually spread to other organ systems and cause death. Even if it is just an ear infection, these can be painful and irritating enough to a rabbit to make them not want to eat. A rabbit who isn't eating is often one that develops gastric stasis, which is another deadly condition. Overall, I would recommend getting Buzz seen by a vet sometime sooner than later.
