TWISTED NECK IN RABBITS

Has anyone had this problem with their rabbits before. Have googled the problem but I am getting conflicting info on the situation. Otherwise known as wryneck I think.

Hi, this is most commonly called head tilt and usually caused by head trauma or an ear infection. The faster you get it treated, the more it will clear up. Most rabbits will have a tilted head forever. It can kill if left untreated.

Rabbits go downhill very quickly if you're rabbit has any sort of head tilt or has done something to his/her neck the bun needs to see a rabbit asap first thing in the morning if you haven't had it checked out already.
