            Tilting of the head (that stays that way)

            <li style="list-style-image: url("../images/bullet.gif&quot; font-size: 12.8px;”>

            Excessive scratching of the ears

            <li style="list-style-image: url("../images/bullet.gif&quot; font-size: 12.8px;”>

            Loss of Balance

            <li style="list-style-image: url("../images/bullet.gif&quot; font-size: 12.8px;”>

            I hope this helps and he or she feels better

                    I’m confused. What makes you think your bunny is sick? You said water around nose and shedding. When you said “water”, do you mean his nose is running? Shedding is just that, shedding. Some bunnies shed year-round.

                        Is it clear? Milky/yellow?

                        If your bunny has a URI, there really isn’t any other treatment besides antibiotics. And you need to make sure the vet knows what they are doing because not all antibiotics are suitable for bunnies.
