Step 3: Add the guide for the muzzle by first making a small mark on the left side of the head. Then connect the mark to the head using curved lines to create an arc. Pay attention to the size of the arc in relation to the rest of the rabbit's head. Should your rabbit be diagnosed with ear mites, you’ll need to move your bunny to a new area, since it’ll take 4-6 weeks for all the mites in their living space to be gone.

There are no simple tests to identify the cause of head tilt, which can make diagnosis difficult – so your vet will consider several possibilities. Kazacos, K.R., and E. A. Kazacos. 1988. Diagnostic exercise Neuromuscular condition in rabbits. Lab. Anim. Sci. 38:187-189 A diagnosis as to the cause of the problem is frequently made after elimination of other possibilities. Lets examine these one at a time, starting with the one thought to be most common:

All bedding needs to be disposed of – and throw away the bedding from the temporary accommodation after the 4-6 weeks is up. Everywhere the rabbit has been will need to be sprayed with insecticide. Basically, you make up the solution, shake it, and squirt it in your bunny’s ear. Then, with the reflexes of a cat, you massage the base of the rabbit’s ear to help dislodge the gunk. Baylisascaris spp are round worms which live in the intestine of raccoons and skunks. A rabbit may acquire eggs from these works by eating grasses, food, or bedding contaminated by feces. Larvae hatch from the eggs and migrate into the brain, where they live and grow and destroy brain tissue. There is no known cure for this invasion. Ivermectin probably does not penetrate the brain in sufficient quantities to kill the larvae, although it may kill them before they reach the brain. If your rabbit decides to decline food, you will have to be ready to syringe feed him. There are many recipes for syringe feeding and you can be fairly creative. The primary point is to get food into his stomach so that his gut doesn't stop moving, which would add further complications to the process of getting him well. A sample recipe might be pellets mixed with 2 parts water, mixed garden baby food, some banana, some powdered acidophilus, some apple sauce (some of whatever he usually likes that has a strong taste). Feed him as frequently as possible throughout the day, and as much as you can get down him at each feeding. When he clenches his teeth and won't swallow, stop for awhile and try more later.

FINALLY, more people are seeing what we see: having a rabbit is like having a cat or dog that doesn’t: Kunstyr, I., L. Lev, and S. Naumann. 1985. Head tilt in rabbits caused by pastuerellosis and encephalitozoonosis. Lab Anim. 19:208-213. If you notice your bunny is shaking their head and you see a lot of wax, it’s best to have it extracted. I have had to do this before, and whilst it’s not painful, rabbits…hate it. There are two effective ways to reduce the risk of head tilt: first, always make sure your rabbits’ hutch and run is kept clean. And second, keep a watchful eye on your bunnies, so that you’re able to spot any changes in their health and wellbeing. ‘Also, avoid overcrowding the hutch,’ advises Brian. ‘The more rabbits that are kept together, the harder it is to keep their environment clean, and the greater the risk of infection spreading between them.’ Cut a length of yarn around 8′′ and thread through the rem sts, stitch the head seam to the end of the nose.

I have 10+ years of experience in using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, both for graphic design and for creating unique works of art as well. I hold a degree in graphic design, but nowadays I work as a freelance illustrator and a tutorial author. I specialize in creating realistic art, especially of animals, and I'm good at designing imaginary creatures in a realistic way. I'm a big fan of dragons and feline creatures! Deeb, B.J., and R.F. Di Giacomo. 1994. Cerebral larva migrans caused by Baylisascaris sp. in pet rabbits. JAVMA. We opted to have our 11 year old bunny put to sleep when he started developing dental problems, because the treatment would have meant monthly operations which would have been extremely stressful for him. Usually regular trimmings or tooth extraction will put everything right, but George was drooling excessively which caused skin issues. One of the reasons I think it’s important to keep a close eye on your bunny is you notice those subtle changes in behaviour that you might not notice if you only spend an hour or so with them daily. Your rabbit may have ear mitesAs the story goes, "old mother" was selling hot pot at her shop in Shuangliu (home of Chengdu's airport today), but her son liked eating Chengdu rabbit head so much that his loving mother also made rabbit head food in her homemade sauce especially for him. The customers coming to her small hot pot restaurant heard of her homemade rabbit head dish and went crazy for it when they got a taste. From that point on, she shifted her business from hot pot to her special rabbit head delicacy, and its popularity soon took off throughout Chengdu and around China. These spicy rabbit heads can now be found as street food in Hong Kong. They have compromised health – stressed, unwell bunnies are at high risk from ear mite infestations.
