That’s great Azerane!

Bam made some good suggestions. I’m glad you are able to take her to a different vet so she can be seen sooner.

The cartilage that supports their ears can be damaged too. Nerve damage or inflammation that puts pressure on the nerves can also cause an ear to droop. But… I think the most likely scenario here is a little lop got mixed into the bloodline.

Is there anything I can do to help him heal? The dad bun isn’t a Lop, neither is the mom, I have also seen the ears in Lop bunnies and his looks just flopped. My mom also informed me that apparently he was in a weird position while feeding and after he finished is when we noticed the flopped ear, it was also red at the base but no other type o…[Read more]

Her face is the first thing i checked when she started drooling but it’s perfectly symmetrical. Also I’ve tried the water bottle but she refused to drink from it so we are back to the bowl. And i don’t know what miracle is happening but she suddenly stopped drooling. I think this all happened because 5 days ago she had hay stuck in her fur right…[Read more]

Food aggression is not unheard of in bonded pairs– some rabbits get especially tunnel-visioned and “crazed” around food. In some cases, the best course of action is a short separation barrier during feeding presentation times and then just removing the barrier once the food is consumed. Also, trying to cut down on the anticipatory energy is…[Read more]

Agreed with @Bam — “breaking” their ears is not really something we see with rabbits as opposed to them injuring their ears, resulting in a change in its shape/composition.

I’ve seen droopy ears associated with malnutrition, and it can occur if there is an ear infection in the “lopped” ear.

I will mention that, unless you 100% know the father,…[Read more]

Oh, great!

Yes, she is not happy about the collar. I got another appointment for tomorrow from a different clinic.

Thank you so much!

It’s great that she’s eating and pooping!

She might become very cross with you for having to wear a paper collar, but it is necessary that she cant hurt herself more, and she mustnt lick off the neosporin. It’s not toxic or anything, but it needs to stay on the sore to have effect.

They cant exactly break their ears, but they can hurt the muscles that keep them upright. I had a bun that got a droopy ear after a fight with another bun. It took like a week for it to come up again. There was no visible damage to the ear.

It could be wise to give her a water bottle as well as a bowl, if she cant keep the water from the bowl in her mouth long enough to swallow it.

Water leakage like this could mean she cant close her mouth properly. It doesnt sound like true drooling, more like she just csnt hold water in her mouth so it leaks out.

Is the leakage from both sides…[Read more]

I haven’t personally, but I think in most cases, if you have a rabbit who is easily pleased by different toys and treats, the subscription boxes are a popular choice for monthly engagement! They can also be nice for a couple months to learn about what your rabbit likes vs. dislikes.
