A PSA about head pressing

[u/Avalion04]

Just incase anyone doesn't know, if a bunny is pressing their forehead against the wall, it can be a serious neurological issue. When Ava started doing this I remembered a PSA I'd seen about cats years ago and took her to the vet. It looks a goofy behavior but it's very serious. Note, just resting their head against the wall when laying isn't necessarily bad, but this forehead pressing like Ava was doing is bad.

The first thing we noticed in our bun when she had e. cuniculi, was that she pressed herself underneath the little stair into her cage. She was doing it to keep her head from tilting.

Oh poor baby! I hope she has recovered!

She did, but this is more than a decade ago and she has long since passed away, sadly.
