What has happened to the lip? Was it an accidental injury or is it something else? Have you been in contact with a vet?

Are you feeding him Critical Care (or similar recovery product? If a bun eats only Critical Care it will need to drink less because the Critical Care is mixed with water.

All these lovely buns!! I can’t upload new pictures for some reason so here’s old pictures of Blossom and Thumper. I think they’re 6 years old now (almost had them for 6 years) my how time flies!

Definitely unusual to see it bare like that… If the skin looks damaged, I’d have her examined. Also monitor to see if maybe she’s been biting it or if there’s anything in the environment which may have snagged and caught her. My guess is also it’s the tail, but admittedly I’ve never seen it exposed… Ever.

Some people on BB have had luck with that procedure, so I wouldn’t…[Read more]

Yes, tell us more about how it was determined that this isn’t EC-related. Not that neurological disorders don’t exist in rabbits. But the vast majority of the time, the neurological problem is caused by EC.
