my bunny has wry neck / head tilt


I've been doing some research and I'm pretty sure Roy, my bunny, has developed wry neck (also known as head tilt). I'm going to take him to a vet tomorrow, but is there anyone from the vancouver (canada) region here that can recommend me a good rabbit vet?

I've been told that Dr. Brondwin at Arbutus West Animal Clinic (16th and Macdonald) and Dr. Anderson at Anderson Animal Hospital (67th-ish and Granville) are good.

I don't know too much about it, but here's a link to someone who does:

Head Tilt: Causes and Treatment

Good luck with everything. Hope he's okay.

I took Roy to the vet this morning and they kept him there for about five hours doing exams and x-rays and such. The doctor said that it appears to be a middle and/or inner ear infection, but it's relatively minor at this point (thankfully). They injected him with some antibiotics and provided me with Baytril to give him for the next 2 weeks.

I'll be documenting Roy's progress for the next little while via my blog, if you guys want to pay a visit. I appreciate the help and support

Good luck with him. As many know my Tabby had a head tilt. Hers never improved but she was a very happy bunny none the less. I think it was harder on the humans around her than it was on her.

Roy seems to be doing better. The tilt isn't as prominent and he definitely has more energy. I'm hopeful!
