A sudden head tilt, also known as 'wry neck' or torticollis, and balance issues in a rabbit are serious symptoms often indicative of E. cuniculi infection (encephalitozoonosis), an inner ear infection, or a stroke. These conditions can cause severe neurological damage if not treated promptly. It is crucial to get your rabbit evaluated by a veterinarian experienced in rabbit care as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment. Early intervention offers the best prognosis. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance before visiting a clinic.
