My rabbit's head is twitching and she's blinking. What's wrong?

I would recommend taking Dolly to see a veterinarian that treats rabbits. It sounds as if she may have a bit of a neurological issue. good luck and I hope she's back to normal soon. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These signs are usually seen with vestibular diseases (neurologic signs). This can sometimes be due to an ear infection for example. For that reason, I recommend that you have Lilly evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If an infection is noted, medications could be recommended for that. Good luck and have a great day!

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds like Mocha might be having seizures. This can occur due to many different causes including infections, inflammation, tumors, and other causes. If Mocha is eating, drinking, pooping and peeing normally right now, you can monitor Mocha for now. I would recommend however to have Mocha seen by a rabbit veterinarian as soon as you are able to get an appointment. I would also recommend trying to get one of these episodes on tape if you can, so if you see it happening try to record it. Best of luck with Mocha.

Have Poopu examined by a veterinarian experienced in treating rabbits. Poopu may have an ear infection that could be affecting his balance. The rappid "flickering" could be what is called nystagmus and it means your bunny feels very dizzy. If you can't find a vet with rabbit experience, your small animal vet can examine, diagnose and treat the condition.

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.

It sounds like poor Bella had an abnormal episode. If she is currently acting normal I would not recommen doing anything at this time. However it is possible she had a seizures or even another neurologic even that caused this behavior. If you notice she is not eating,drinking or acting lethargic I would recommend taking her to the vet for a good exam. If she continues this behavior I also would recommend a good exam to dig a little deeper. i hope that helps

Usually these signs are compatible with a neurological disease caused by a parasite called E.cuniculi. Once a rabbit has E.cuniculi it passes on the infection through spores in its urine. Other rabbits pick up the disease by eating these spores in urine-contaminated food and water. Unborn kits — baby rabbits — may also be infected during pregnancy. 50mg/kg of panacur once daily for a month is the standard treatment but once signs are evident the prognosis is guarded to poor despite the treatment. I would recommend to isolate sick rabbits and maintain hygiene standards very high. Please find further informations about the disease here: http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-2/e-cuniculi.html Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
