Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

A head tilt in rabbits, often called 'wry neck,' can be a sign of several serious conditions, including Eustachian tube infections, ear mites, or a more severe neurological issue like Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi). It can also be caused by trauma. While your rabbit may seem otherwise fine, this symptom warrants immediate veterinary attention to prevent progression and discomfort. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the best outcome. This is not an emergency, but you should schedule an appointment with your vet as soon as possible. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
