My rabbit developed sudden head tilt and is off balance. What's happening?

[]

Answer

This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately. A sudden head tilt in a rabbit, often called 'wry neck,' is a serious symptom. It can indicate a severe inner ear infection (Encephalitozoon cuniculi being a common culprit), a stroke, trauma, or central nervous system disease. Rabbits are delicate, and neurological symptoms require immediate veterinary attention to diagnose the cause and begin appropriate treatment to prevent further deterioration or permanent damage.
