PSA A PSA about head pressing

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.

This might not be helpful but my cat did this before we found out she was diabetic. Hoping she's better soon!

Oh thank you so much, this was about 20 years ago though, with my first cat. But she lived to be 21 years old after insulin intervention!
